content: More stuff from under my desk. Nice Keysight 34410A 6.5 digit bench meter, looks unused and still has plastic film on the screen.Seems to be a customer return but it's been back to Keysight for inspection/calibration. Calibrated 3 March 2015, warranty expires 15 Nov 2017. Comes with a new set of Keysight test leads. GPIB, LAN/LXI, USB.http://uk.farnell.com/keysight-technologies/34410a/multimeter-bench-digital-6-5-digit/dp/1440376List price £909+VAT, let's start at £475+VAT? (that's a paltry $700 US or an astonishing 660 euro!)Will ship anywhere at cost (UK £10, most of Europe £20, USA £60), only pay the VAT if it applies to you.I suspect it won't be going to anywhere that uses the Euro, that currency seems to have turned into Monopoly money!!SOLD
