We would like to sell these and are offering a 60% discount this week.You total order must be $25 or more to qualify. You just need to make offers on the parts of interest at that discount price and we will accept the offers. We have not changed the basic prices of the parts. This will be a regular eBay transaction.It is easy to find these parts if you go to our eBay store (click the Blue emblem) and find “OTHER” in the menu of categories. If you do a sort of cost the $1 items should appear first. Call us at 2143488800 if you have a problem.PROMOTIONS on eBay this week for equipment:Sorensen Xantrex XTQ15151530 Quad Power Supply $160 each, Listing 391512005815Sorensen Xantrex XTT15-4 Triple Power Supply, $130 each, Listing 391512060604Agilent 6031A DC Power Supply, 0-20V, 0-120A, 1000 W, manual, tested units, only 2 left.

content: I just want to say that I worked for Jim Tucker for 13 1/2 years and always appreciated what he had done with Tucker Electronics. He was a true pioneer in the used / reconditioned electronics test equipment industry.On personal note, I suffered a life threatening injury in the 1980s and missed a great deal of work over the next 2 years. Jim stayed with me and gave me the time to heal without pressuring me. And I will always appreciate that.Thanks, Jim Tucker.Steve Barfield

content: Neither of the links work? Or is it me.It would seem that the era of secondhand test equipment is drawing to a close, Manuals Plus and now Tucker, Sphere cleared lots of stuff a while ago.

content: Quote from: woodchips on February 08, 2018, 04:00:25 pmIts all shut down. Tucker came on the HP/Agilent yahoo group and declared this.Quote from: Bud on February 08, 2018, 04:18:11 pmI was extremely sad to see his Jan 8th post. Apparently whatever manuals weren't taken went to the recycling bin. Can't blame him since its difficult to rent out a space with no money left. I'm hoping it was donated to the local library at least. I'm having problems opening the exact HP/Agilent thread so I don't know what else was said other than the giveaway at his Dallas address.
