Okay Kobuk I know you are pro Dew, but dang it! No coke at slime-way? I mean sub way?
I loves me a frosty coke!
My good news? I now own a working piece of test equipment that still costs $8000, plus a calibrating kit costing $5000 and a noise source that costs $2000. Holy cow man!
The noise source cost me a few hundred, the test equipment was free i just had to repair it. And the calibration kit was almost free. I even have an accessory item costing another$4000 ( i paid one hundred) I just had to repair a bad connector!! It is scary I have stuff supposedly costing almost $20,000 sitting in a room... and i paid only about 300, OMG. What a burden to take care of this stuff! And thing is, every few years, if I don't replace 2 special batteries, the main item dies forever. I have to do a special thing when switching in new batteries to preserve memory. I've done it once and idk if I can do it again!
With all this junk, I can do measurements of things most people can't. I could turn this into a small time side hustle. I could charge a small fee to test items etc and provide measurements.
Worst case is sell it individually for what I listed here. But this junk is a one in a life time set. What a dellimma!!
I'm addicted to buying damaged test equipment, repairing it, etc.
I need to stop!!
