content: I discovered that BK has an exchange program and from what I can tell they seem to accept anything in exchange. I recently bought a BK 2709B DMM but that was before I knew about this offer. I'm posting here as it seems that the exchange program works for their entire product line.Start here:https://www.bkprecision.com/promotions/exchange-program.htmlThe 2709B is $75.60 plus shipping, and that's a good price.In another thread a poster revealed that BK scopes are Tonghui but they have decent specs/prices with this xchange program.

content: Seems a bit fishy.If I trade in my "Harbor Freight" for a BK 2709B, I get a savings of $29.40.If I trade in my "Fluke 87V" for a BK 2709B, I get a savings of $29.40.If anyone wants to trade in their Fluke 87V (working or not), I willhappilygive you $30 USD + shipping!

But with the revelation that Tonghui makes BK oscilloscopes I wonder if BK is contracting to other companies for their products. And if so they may be found for sale under different names. Tonghui sells scopes at very similar pricing as the discount program BK offers.

content: Quote from: retiredcaps on January 29, 2014, 11:40:11 pmAs I said they seem to take anything in exchange. Try Sharpened pencil. They're offering a nice discount to everyone with no barriers. I just wish I'd found the deal sooner. I may get a power supply but need to do some more research. After applying the discount I can get a better deal on a new PS then used off ebay.Doesn't seem fishy to me.

content: aremk,Just another example of BK with a different name on it.From the episodes page:"What’s inside BK Precision’s 8500 300W 120V/30A DC Electronic Load?It is also known as the Itech 8512."http://www.itech.sh/en/products.jsp?id=12&sortid=001005But yeah, the deal seems to be only in the US direct from BK. But lots of places will price match if you show them where you got the price.
