As in all eBay, may the buyer beware!

But, these are REALLY good deals on test equipment.

Advin universal EPROM/uP programmer (DIP only packages, adapters for SOIC/PLCC 
are pretty $$$) but this is setting at 90% off!!

My doctor said "Micronta".

I love that name...

Chub- easily amused

I've got one of these I've had since they were new.  It is probably the best
portable voltmeter I have even owned. Away from the bench, this is the only
thing I ever use.  I have one of the rubber things that Fluke makes for them
to slip into for more shock resistance.

I prefer it to the newer 80 series meters because it doe not auto-range.  I
hate auto ranging when I am looking for 115 VAC and the things are giving me
milivolts.  The only negative comment I have about this meter is that the
VAC is not true RMS.  However, when compared to true RMS meters, it is damn
close.

Not to get too far off into the geek tools territory, but...  ;-)

While it's not, strictly speaking, a handheld, for portable use I
really like my Fluke 8050A with the battery option.  Back at home
though, I have an HP 3456A in the rack...

So, what are you folks using for synthesizer/function generators? 
(Besides your MOTM modules!)  ;-)  I must be on an HP kick lately, but
I just scored a 3325A...

I have a Fluke77 too, with the rubber boot, from the same era as 
yours. Only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't measure 
capacitance.

I use a Nord Modular synth whenever I need to generate a test tone. I 
have a preset with a bunch of waveforms at selected frequencies. No 
envelope generators, not amplifiers, no filters, just continuous 
waves. It's not as good as a real function generator, but what else 
am I going to do with a VA synth?
