So I have a 3457a on the way that passes the self tests. What are the odds of it actually working when I get it? What should I look for as a general failure for these devices? I always assume anything I purchase off ebay is going to be in need of repair. Hopefully I'm wrong this time, but I have to say I've never purchased used gear that didn't need some repair. The device is in good cosmetic condition and the seller showed that it passed self tests. No actually readings however. It was last calibrated in 98. Ohh and my apologizes to anyone that was also bidding on the same unit. There was a few.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
