Hi Chris

Welcome to the group but your problem is not new and one that most on this group suffer from

?

Covid shut down for the past 2 years? has meant a lack of rallies / to reduce our stock and fill in the missing items we could better use

With that you didn¡¯t say what you are wanting to achieve as in which branch of testing to you require

Analog / audio

Digital / logic

Radio frequency this is the big one as this is dependent on the highest frequency you want to work at

Regarding redundant gear this is difficult as redundant because you don¡¯t require that measurement OK out it

But redundant because you already have one, The day after you sell the redundant one you will require it

?

Best of luck with the sort out? Regards Paul ?

Hello Group!

I'm trying to get a handle on my test gear and decided to start looking at my HP hoard.
I need to decide what to keep/fix/purge/replace and finally joining here seemed like a good first step.

I have at least the following items, maybe more hiding unseen in the various piles:

HP:
- several linear power supplies,
- K04-0980A Powerstat
- a gain phase meter (3575A?)
- 33120A function generator
- 3456A voltmeter
- a pair of 1662AS logic analyzers (with at least one keyboard and one mouse...more I think)
- 8505A vector network analyzer with 8501 storage normalizer and 8503A S-parameter kit

Agilent:
- 1147A scope current probe (for the 3034T 'scope below)
- 34410A multimeter
- and maybe a scope in storage?? I need to check on that.

Keysight:
MSOX-3034T oscilloscope

Tektronix:
- approximately 0.42 container ships full of big iron piled ceiling high in the living room

Random other MFG's:
- a pair of IBM Model M keyboards, one for work and one for home (they count as boat anchors too!)
- generally too much stuff !!!

The immediate goal is to get all of this off the floor and off the benches so I can at least check functionality of everything.
Longer term I want to eliminate redundant gear and fill some holes in the lab and then start playing with stuff again!

Cheers,
-Chris
