content: I did not get much of a tour. The lab had only recently had the carpet redone (now carpet tile) and both Dave and David were in the process of rebuilding the lab. The main benches were up, with some shelving above and some equipment on them. The rest of the lab was in a typical "in progress" state.The scope is now home with me. It came with a pouch in the classic HP brown which contained the operations and service manual - in excellent condition. Haven't powered it up yet - but I have a nice signal generator I can use.

content: I just carried it in and set it down next to my two 8656B's - so it just looked like more HP "clutter"Don't think it really registered. WIN!

content: It does get to the point where the T&M collection (clutter?) inertia makes it hard to spot any additions for the un-initiated.

content: Quote from: Brumby on April 09, 2019, 01:58:19 pmIt registered.Got pulled up on it - mildly. I explained how this was different to my Hitachi V152B - which didn't really get much traction. Since I am hoping to get some space (I've mentioned before on the TEA thread) in order to set up 14U-16U of rack mount storage, I mentioned this in my response. The talk of reorganisation to make my gear more accessible while at the same time clearing up some floor clutter, didn't get the thumbs down (which is good) but I did get a mild serve of "the look".She has mentioned before about the keyboard she uses (and likes) is in need of a clean - so it looks like I'll soon be popping off a lot of key caps and giving them a wash while cleaning out any foreign debris around the mechanical switches. I might then be able to raise the subject again.
