Same here. eBay Managed Payments is a bookeeping nightmare. But payments have been made the day after shipment quite reliably.

FS HP/AGILENT 70205A MMS display
For sale small display for the 70K MMS system. Tested OK but the front faceplate and RFI gasket are missing : front plate of the CRT is directly exposed (like the old 180X oscilloscopes), very bright display but don't use a hammer to adjust the tube... PM please.

Re: Selling experience, sorry OT again
PayPal fees for FX are incredibly high, 3..5% worst foreign currency exchange rate, plus fees, etc.
You always have the option to dump epay all together and simply sell on your own website, our firm has done so since 1995, and never sell on epay.
For epay, What about payment via bank transfer? Physical paper bank check? Still.aloowed?

Yes. And now they charge fees on any sales tax collected as well. So if you sell to a buyer who is not tax exempt, you get screwed even more! Almost sounds illegal.

Unfortunatly ebay have us over a barrel to some
extent. My personal opinion is they don't want small
qty private sellers. Probably becuse a number of
them cause too many claims. You have to use "managed
payments" in the UK now. Ieven if there is no
holding period you still have to wait a few days for
the payment to come through. I now put? 3 or 4 day
shipping time on my listings so I at least have the
postage cost in my account.
The worst thing I have had is an item sold to
europe and not only did ebay charge me an additional
international sales fee, they charged the seller 20%
VAT and then charged me 10% comission on the VAT! As
far as I can tell as a private individual selling a
used item VAT should not have been charged in the
first place.
Unfortunatly none of the alternative marketplaces
have the exposure that ebay has.

Re: 8350B *restoration adventure?*
Hi, ? You have a solution that is not perfect but no doubt you will find a way to get the necessary voltages. But in such a situation, I would be tempted to rewind the original transformer, if it is a failure, you still have the solution with the 8566B transformer. I have already done a few times the rewinding of a transformer (we don't do that often), and every time it was a success...however, I must confess, it takes patience. If you like challenges, here is one. ? I have also done a secondary configuration from an existing transformer to fit an application, but for about the same power. And I also had the surprise to realize that a transformer that I thought I had to rewind, had a thermal switch in the primary, and it was this part that was defective. Fortunately, it was easy for me to bypass it, knowing that there was other protection anyway. ? I've had an 8350B for several years, and I got it when it was new...a reliable and very practical instrument. I should be getting a third module this week, an 83595A which I will probably have to do some repairs and a complete alignment on. The 8350B is an old instrument, but it is capable of serving for many more years. ? -Yves ? ? Hi there!
Some updates:
Yesterday the big monster transformer, once belong to a 8566B, arrived. After some isolation and resistance measures,I checked it's outputs and deliver the correct voltages. So hooray for the UK seller: fast, kind and cheap.
Before squeeze my brain on how the hell I can install that transformer on the 8350B, want to power all the rails and measure the aprox current draws, so I've arranged a setup with the monster (+5V, -40V and +20V rails), another center tap adapter (¡À10V) and my bench supply (¡À15V). I fitted a dc pc fan in the back of the unit to give some cool during initial start up.
As you can see in the photos, the unit starts successfully: no magic smoke, front panel lamp test OK, error 001 (no plugin). Looks promising, I must get a plugin to test real current consumption, but for now I'll measure the rails one by one to be sure of no abnormal drawings. Maybe try to draw some current from the plugin connector with my electronic load. I'll post the current draw data tomorrow :)
Looking forward on adapt the 9100-4068 transformer, I noticed:
?- first, the unit is bigger that the old. And I say much bigger :D. The only way is changing the filter capacitors for newer and smaller units, to gain room for the transformer.
?- second, the secondary windings provide proper voltages for most of the rails (perfect for +20, +5 and -40) but the rest needs center tap for create negative rails. This is a problem. I think it will cause redesign the A6 rectifier board at least, if not the A7 regulator board too. Also the original 9100-4603 has 5 secondary, and this one has 4. My idea is to hook too small current drawer rails into the same secondary, given that the 8566B transformer is most bigger (and powerful, hopefully)
Opinions? :D?

Ruben
