content: HelloOk so ..... no body make a project ? , no body have a boat and make electronic ? , that a bit incredible to see forum people awaiting the HP 8.5 digit multimeter fully guaranteed for 100 USD '' bargain of the year '' or a R&S RF full specs spectrum analyser '' deal of the century '' for 215 USD with calibration ...A simple water proof switch cost over than 15 Euro and if that professional series with gold contacts that over 50 Euro per piece and more an example from Mouser : 165 Euro per piece ......https://www.mouser.fr/ProductDetail/Apem/122462VX778?qs=u16ybLDytRYc%252Bqn93XOVUQ%3D%3DSo I don t think at all that this screen panel ''as new '' with over priced mil specs components to reuse is a problem .RegardsOS

content: QuoteWhat does that mean? Looks a bit banged about with scratches, so clearly not actually new or even nearly new.

content: HelloBangedwhere , criticism is very easy behind a keyboard , this unit have been in a storage since ten years and came from a cancelled marine project , can you explain where are the scratches ? a dust trace on a screen have never been a scratch as far I know .IF you are not interested , no need to lost your time to criticism for free .RegardsOS

content: HelloOh yes the little scratch on the handle and on the paint .... that dramatic I think truly dramatic , an absolute shame , and when I read your 5000 + previous posts that very far from electronic technical subjects for most of them too .If you have nothing to do of your days , I advise you to start to learn electronic or demonstrate your skills on a real project perhapsSome real people make interesting projects by recovering high valued components rather to criticismRegardsOS

content: Ok But the problem is, you want to sell something And people want to know a few things tooIf you said for project switches etc .... we can not guess what is inside ... the value for me is zeroYes eevblog is an electronic forum, but this at first is a MARINE instrument ... this thread can become a bad / wrong place to sell it ?

content: HelloPlease stop to consider me as a dummy , a marine instrument ... perhaps but not exactly I assess that rather a rugged water proof screen with connectors and switches for component recovery and reuse from my point of view and that electronic related too .The value is zero , great so an Apem switch mil spec is zero value ? a BNC connector gold plated is zero value ? a Triax connector are zero value ??OK value is zero but can you please provide the address of your electronic components suppliers in Canada the '' all for free shops '' I will purchase valuable components for free .RegardsOS

content: There are three two-lug triax connectors, so indeed it has some scrap value for some people owning old Keithley electrometers and want such connectors.But if it worth 160 EUR + shipping (6.7 kg as labeled) is another question.I would suggest providing more information about this display if it's available, especially if it was planned for a project rather than found in scrap yard. That can certainly increase its value.

content: Seeing your reaction Overspeed I would simply retract this sale and move on, it is not a good attitudeYou're not a dummy as you may think or assume, we did not ... but once again, it is a very specific item, open it, take some pictures, show the internals ....It doesn't compare to what it is shown here at eevblog, the attraction / interest etc ... wont be the same

content: HelloI have purchase two units from a surplus company specialised in surplus security and military equipment for a all weather screen / display in a Pelican case I have recover the aluminium enclosure / frame which is water proof and very well to install a LCD screen ''day light '' as a ''on the shelf'' day light screen water proof was far over my budget .Following the seller that was screens from a sonar or a navigation system I have never investigate more deeper as I have no use of the primary purpose but just of the enclosure / frameJust for comparison a simple plastic frame to fix the panel and an aluminium panel for a Pelican 1550 case fromwww.datapro.netis over 120 Euro and that looks cheap in qualityRegardsOS
