content: Hey guys,Just starting out and need the tools of the trade. Just shelled out for a high quality soldering station, reflow station, filtered DC power supply, fluke multimeter, component cabinets will a lot of components etc...So as you can see I am kinda running low on funds to set my work area up. But would love to have a nice oscilloscope to finish it all off. Not too fussed on quality or specs, just need something to get me going.If anyone lives in Sydney and is feeling extremely generous or needs to get some stuff out of their garage, I'd be happy to take it off your hands.-Adrian

content: Hi Bobhaha,I am not located in Sydney by any means but I do have an Agilent Oscilloscope that you may be interested in. It is an Agilent 54540A 4 Channel Oscilloscope asking $600 and it would receive a new NIST traceable calibration with data prior to shipping. It is an older unit and has minor screen burn when powered off, but it is fully functional and easily readable when powered on. This unit would also come with a power cord, cd manual, and a 30 day warranty. Please let me know if you are interested and I will hold it for you!

Just as an example, check RS Components:http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/?sra=oss&searchTerm=weller+lt&x=0&y=0To my knowledge it very easy to find them (at least here in Italy!)

Wanted: Phillips PM3266 service manual - Page 1

content: Does anyone have the service manual for a Phillips PM3266 analogue storage 'scope - have picked up one of these for repair outwardly in excellent condition. The main fault at present seems to be that the vertical system has an aprox 200Khz vaguely sinusoidal oscillation which smears the traces into two broad lines.I do have the paper copy which came with the 'scope but both have been stored in damp conditions the service section is unusable as it has mostly stuck into one large block of paper.I also have the PDF copy that's circulating around the 'net but that's just the last few (about 30) pages of the schematics. Better than nothing but a long way from the whole thing.

content: hmm - too late now since bidding has started. But lots of liquidation sellers write "for parts or not working" to negate any responsibility.I have bought many parts on eBay from liquidation sellers - and usually they have worked. Once I got a dud - but only a burned fuse. And had one Battery tester delivered with a IR printer - where the batteries had leaked over the electronics.I usually check with other items the seller has sold before and the feedback. And if it smells fishy I stay away. :-) - If I had not had my scope - I would have bought the $3000 4034.Now bidding has started.. so my guesstimate is it will end at about $4000,- - where the BuyNow was 3000.

content: Just popped into my local Active Electronics and they have just started a sale that goes to April 14th.The Hakko FX888 is going for Cdn $88.88.Agilent is giving rebates on several of their products, The U1272A being one of them. It's regular price is $389.00, on sale for $329.97 and Agilent is tossing in a $100 rebate so in the end, you pay $229.97 which seems like a very good deal. If I didn't already have 2 Fluke 87V meters and a shortage of cash.... I'd be buying one.U1253B is $299.97U1273A is $249.97More info atwww.active123.comAs for me.... It will probably take more than a team of wild horses to keep me away from adding that FX888 to my bench... I'm getting tired of burning my fingers swapping tips on my 936 as I often switch back and forth between fine detail work and heavy duty soldering on the same project.RegardsChristian

I wish I had of waited so I could have gotten the Agilent meter deal. Oh well.Active Electronics has some pretty good specials in their new flyer, I think I will be ordering from them in the future if they continue to have good promotions like this one.

content: I don't believe there ever was an A version. The first version was the 3012, then came the 3012b, which added Ethernet and the wavealert feature, and then came the 3012c, which added USB. This ad would refer to the first and second versions. In my opinion these are fine scopes, the VGA display is nice, many entry level scopes are QVGA. So are DPO and the fast update rate. Main downside is the short memory of 10 kpoints per channel.

Where to Buy Fluke Multimeters in Australia - Page 1
Forum section: electronics / general

author: Andy
author_rank: Contributor
timestamp: February 10, 2012, 03:07:00 am
content: Hi all,I know about a lot of the common distributors in australia (RS, element14, Oritech, etc), but they all seem massively overpriced -- when compared to buying from the USA.I see that tequipment.net ship internationally for orders more than $300 (which is OK since I am considering the Fluke 287). Another option would be to buy from Amazon and use a shipment forwarding service. Amazon currently have the Fluke 287 on sale for US$409.28 -- a great price compared to the AU$600 plus prices in Australia.My question is, if I buy from USA from those authorised distributors, will the warranty be valid in Australia? If not, will the warranty be valid in the USA, so I can send it back there?Thanks for the help!Andy.

I find that Oritech currently has the most reasonable prices in Australia. I don't see why Fluke prices items so much higher in AU compared with USA.Right now it looks like either I'll import a Fluke from USA, or get an Agilent locally. Any opinons?Thanks.

content: Ok. So I'm set on buying an Agilent from a local distributor (Trio Smart Cal as Dave suggested). Only question is, which model.The U1272A is going for $449.00, while the U1252B is $4 cheaper, $445.00. This seems strange to me, as the U1252B is better spec'd. After looking around the forums, I see that the U1272A is the more popular meter. If I can get the U1252B cheaper, is there any reason why I would choose the U1272A instead?Thanks.

content: Quote from: Andy on February 24, 2012, 12:50:07 amIt comes down to what you want. If you want the most accurate meter, the U1252B has slightly better specs, but not by a huge amount. If you want a more rugged meter with better datalogging then the U1272A is a better bet. Battery life is much better on the U1272A, 300hrs vs 36hrs.The U1252B is an older Escort design, so I'd go with the newer 1272A unless you have compelling reason for the other one.See if Trio will throw in a serial cable too.Dave.

content: Hi guys.I'm prototyping a design and I'd really need a decent casing.Something like an mp3 reader, or another pocketable electronic device.I can't design my own right now, I'd like to get some already made and adapt the electronics for this phase.Any contact you can share?I tried directly mailing some china factory but they didn't answer (what a surprise there...).I'm essentially trying to replicate what Seeedstudio did with its DSO Nano V1: they took the plastic casing of an MP3 (or something like that) and stuffed their circuit in it...But they're Chinese so it's unfair

They expect distributors to do this, but those lack the competence, including the competence to pick up the phone ..., and those even lack spare parts to provide service.You might as well buy from eBay or a non-authorized distributor.

Parts from Accuplace 1515 industrial labeler - Page 1
Forum section: electronics / general

timestamp: January 22, 2012, 07:28:11 am
content: This unit was a combination of steppers and pneumatics, and was designed as a high-precision pick, peel and place labeler, for medical and electronic assembly. (To give you some idea, these things were in the tens of thousands when new). I imported it to cannibalise it for a labeler conveyer – it had obviously been removed from a line by someone with a pair of sidecutters and no love of pneumatics.I have separated the residue into three elements in the hope that someone will be able to make use of the componentry, which is, frankly, just too good to see wasted – think Swiss watch only rather bigger and heavier. I have removed the heavy milled base, but if someone wants that and can wear the postage, so be it. I thought that I would start here rather than eBay.1. Pick and Place head. Have a robot arm that needs a precision appendage? This comprises a long-throw cylinder with two microswitch limits around 130mm apart. There is a custom-made pick-up head and attached pressure switch with LCD display. The assembly is mounted on a milled base with a guide. Weight is just under a kilo.2. The chassis and carriage is a heavyweight in 10mm milled aluminium. There are three main moving parts; a small part bin on a 50mm extension, a sliding presentation edge table, and a sliding carriage with a stepper motor with around 60mm of freedom. On the back are power and air connectors, and a scanner port. This weighs in at over 6 kg. If you want the milled steel base, that adds another 1.7kg.3. Controller and display: 65mm x 110mm PCB, SM components on one side, proprietary Accuplace controller, presumably a PLC. This has inputs for sensors, outputs for controls, and to an LCD display/control panel. There is a pneumatic sensor on board. The display is in an overkill milled billet aluminium box with five buttons.4. Handheld scanner. Just a old-ish handheld barcode scanner, right? Nope. This is designed for use in ESD protected areas (hospitals, Electronic Component Manufacturers, PC Board Assembly) – anywhere that electrostatic charges might be an issue. As a result, these things are expensive. Probably an eBay item, but one of you may need a medical spare.There are a couple of other pneumatic fittings and an actuator which I’ll throw in if weight allows. Obviously I haven’t seen anything working, so it is caveat emptor. Basically, make me an offer for anything you have an interest in, or the whole lot if you are feeling expansive, in which case I would put it back together.

To get the extra $30 discount hit the "Earn an Extra Discount!" button that appears above the total after you add the scope to your cart. You'll be asked to answer 6 multiple choice questions which are all very easy and easily researched from the provided links.If you don't know much about scopes this has quickly become the most popular model for hobbies due to it's great value for money and hackability.Dave Jones on the EEVblog detailed a firmware hack that transforms this into a 100MHz DS1102E [youtube.com] scope.

The probe has a good quality and it is like brand new. The average price I found on the internet was $60.00 USD, if you find a better deal, send me the link and I can probably negotiate.The reason for my sell is that I had a Rigol scope converted to 100 MHz and was using this probe with it, then I sold the unit with the original probes and now I have this extra probe that I don't need anymore.I only used this probe a couple of times and it is in excellent condition.I will give a Husky bag for free for storage of the probe in your purchase.For sale on the USA only.

This model is the previous generation from the current models 1652 and 1653. Spec wise the unit is comparable to the current models. I'm not really sure what they changed. The current models sell for about $2000.The unit is capable of putting out up to 2000V instantaneously.The unit is in very good to excellent physical condition. It is very clean the only noticeable flaw is the bowing on the frame in the front of the unit.I am only selling the unit. I do not have the probes nor the power cord for the unit. I will provide a 30-day warranty with the buyer paying return shipping.The unit weighs 18 pounds so I estimate the shipping weight to be around 22 pounds.I will entertain allreasonableoffers for the unit. I have attached a photograph and a copy of the manual.
