content: Couple things of interest, but when I checked shipping charges they got uninteresting. Good luck though.

content: In regards to shipping costs, I recommend checking out busfreighter if you are buying heavy items (link here:https://www.busfreighter.com/)If shipping time isn't a problem and you live near a major city, I have used them before and the service is quite excellent and affordable for heavy things. For example, a 45 pound (~25kg) package from Austin TX to Seattle WA is $73, 25% cheaper than the post office.

Maybe FedEx is better with an appropriate discount, but when I last checked it was more expensive.Regardless, I can make whatever shipping method you choose work.

content: What a treasure trove, I would be like a kid in a candy store if I lived in the USA!Some ebay sellers have fairly reasonable shipping costs from the USA, but I am yet to discover whether or not they are real - lots of reports of smashed items.

content: Quote from: zucca on November 27, 2019, 12:59:31 pmAll of the units that I have looked at carefully so far have the logo I attached in this post, which I believe means they are mains voltage agnostic (i.e. can accept 120 or 240 without modifications). Maybe I'm wrong, but someone should check me.Also I have added my shipping zip code in the original post so that people can calculate their own shipping costs instead of having to wait for me.

content: For 66332A/663xB you need to change the fuse and modify the transformer, page 69https://www.matsolutions.com/Portals/0/Product%20documents/Agilent%20Technologies/6631B/6631B%20User%27s%20Guide.pdfFor 662xA there is a voltage selection card, instructions on page 113https://literature.cdn.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/5957-6377.pdfHPAK used spade terminals on transformers and jumpers on other models. Check the user guide before you buy.
