content: Agreed - I hate to say it as my first multimeter is a Jaycar one, but I bought it used for $15NZ, which is about $10US. If it falls apart (and due to my own rough handling, it's already being repaired), I've blown $15... it will do to learn the ropes on and check the car battery's voltage...... Fluke 87 & 88's frequently go for around the $170-230 mark - I know as I've been keeping track of the US auctions with a view to buying one in the (hopefully near) future. Looking at the internals of a fluke on the EEVblog videos, and looking at the inside of my one (which originally retailed at $70NZ), I'd grab a fluke, even a used one.Hope this helps!

For working meters with option of calibration from what looks like reputable sellers seem to range from about $140-$600USD without any reference to why they are that price (e.g. no figures on age, all look they same, all work, all can pay a bit extra to have Cal).

timestamp: July 22, 2011, 11:22:42 pm
content: $600 (US) is way too much for a 3478A, you should be able to get an HP 34401A for that. $140 (ex. calibration) sounds about right. If you don't plan to invest in a GPIB interface, you may also want to consider the HP 3468A, apart from the lack of GPIB it's almost identical, and often significantly cheaper. Some Keithley models (195, 195A, 199) sometimes go for cheap (around $100).

timestamp: July 25, 2011, 05:16:16 pm
content: Remember, the 3478 is only a 5.5 digit meter. It's nice enough (I use one on the bench), but no way would I pay more than $200USD for one. It has hardly any features compared to the 34401 types, though it does do well for low resistance 4-term measurements and it has HPIB. I use the inexpensive Prologix interface from Sparkfun to talk to it. It also has no illumination, which can be annoying depending on the lighting. No doubt things cost more down under, but $600 would be crazy for this quite old design!

We have - and its a nightmare.We've created a line of small breakout boards here in the UK, posting to Europe and worldwide that makes using these small ICs much easier. We solder the chips onto small breakout boards for you, with all the supporting/configuring passive components such as resistors and capacitors, and fully test the boards before they are sent out.If you are interested in:The ADXL345 3 Axis Accelerometer, the HMC5883 3 Axis Compass, or the L3G4200D 3 Axis Gyroscope, we have breakout boards for you.Here is our current line of breakout boards:https://www.loveelectronics.co.uk/categories/69/breakoutsPlus we also have tutorials being created for our products, currently we have one explaining how to configure XBee wireless modules and have them talking to your Arduino or equivalent microcontroller.Our tutorials are also announced via twitter, @loveelectronHave fun hacking,Love Electronics

content: Pomona is a major brand for test leads and probes (not for scope probes, though). They're now owned by Fluke. Most of the Fluke leads are also Pomona products. In Europe major brands are Hirschmann and HCK.Any leads which don't use a fixed shroud on the banana plug should be fine. Unsheathed or with retractable sheath. Get whichever style you prefer. You'll probably want something with pointy tips to browse, and something like retractable hooks or alligator clips (I personally find alligator clips totally useless for most electronics work). Four wire leads tend to be expensive, you can also do a reasonable job by just using two sets of leads with some sort of clips attached, just clip two of them on each side (source on outside, sense on inside). Of course real four wire leads are more convenient.

content: Interesting story, my first internship in the electronics industry was at a company that designs and sells LCD modules. My boss had an HP1652B sitting in the corner and said that it had recently had the shutting off/clicking/smelling bad symptoms, and that I could have it if I wanted to fix it and use it (works now, power supply had to be recapped.) Back when he bought it, he borrowed the manuals from someone on eBay, scanned them in, and sent them back (does this story seem familiar?)In any case, it's a fine logic analyzer. The logic analyzer pods are pretty easy to find on eBay for not TOO much money, the oscilloscope function is a little weird, but it works well enough if you spend time with it. If you have an old HP LaserJet with the serial port and the proper DB25 to DB9 adapter and some cables, you can print the screen quite easily.
