content: Well, I was lucky enough to snatch up this ultra precise HP/Agilent/Keysight (My hand shudders when I type that name) 6114A power supply for $39.99, and it looks in pretty bad shape, as if someone dropped it from the bench, much like the Israeli fear sold on eBay at retarded prices.eBay auction: #161207331625Looking at the photos, one can see in one corner where the binding posts have fallen off. Does anyone here have a set of original HP binding posts for the 6114A (Gray, with the colored tips), or the similar type for the E3600 series? I will pay a reasonable amount and postage to the US.

content: I think two red post are original. HP used them in the past. Seehttp://media.liveauctiongroup.net/i/12816/13697553_1.jpg. The gray with color ring are the newer style.btw: you need a hammer

And I truly will need a hammer to straighten the metal off. Or drive over it a few times...

content: Quote from: PedroDaGr8 on January 27, 2014, 02:09:44 amI understand. robrenz told me they were not original, but looking at the older model, they do look original. I am still looking for the 3rd binding post though, and if it is a newer one, then my OCD would kill me looking at mismatched output posts.

content: btw: I think they are gold plated. So the E3600 ones aren't a good replacement.
