Re: This collector needs lots of space Message #4 Posted by Daniel Diggelmann on 23 Aug 2006, 1:24 p.m., in response to message #1 by Klaus Congratulations on this very impressive collection. I'm curious to follow how your homepage will build up. Very nice hardware from good old quality days of HP. Reminds me of my days as an electronics engineer which couldn't have enough measurement equipment on the lab table. Regards from Switzerland Daniel

Re: This collector needs lots of space - sets a good/bad example! Message #5 Posted by Dave Shaffer on 23 Aug 2006, 1:52 p.m., in response to message #1 by Klaus I should keep a few of these pictures handy - to show my wife when she thinks I have too much "stuff" in the garage!

Ditto! Message #6 Posted by Vieira, L. C. (Brazil) on 23 Aug 2006, 7:37 p.m., in response to message #5 by Dave Shaffer Althought I'm divorced and have no wife to complaint, many people think that having so many calculators as I have is hard to understand and even accept. This would be a good chance to show something else... About these equipments. Some good standarts (reference parameter/signal) might be handy... Cheers. Luiz (Brazil)

Re: Ditto! Message #9 Posted by bill platt on 25 Aug 2006, 11:13 p.m., in response to message #8 by Walter B Being that there are a bunch of ham radio operators and possibly a few ex-spooks around here, that could mean any variety of instruments (all of which are smaller than scopes anyway).

Re: Ditto! Message #10 Posted by Larry Corrado on 28 Aug 2006, 10:03 p.m., in response to message #9 by bill platt Bill, Yes,... Bug... That's ham radio lingo for a semiautomatic key, isn't it? I haven't heard the term in ages, but I used one when I was on the air as K9HCP in the late 1950s. Thanks for the memory. Larry

Re: Ditto! Message #12 Posted by GE on 28 Aug 2006, 10:01 a.m., in response to message #6 by Vieira, L. C. (Brazil) Thanks to advanced stealth methods my wife doesn't really KNOW, but yesterday I showed the **special** place to my son and he shook his head stating I was badly sick in my mind. The good point is, he is 7 years old so he can't stop me. The bad point is, even a 7-years old thinks I'm mad. He still hasn't realized he could blackmail me, so no pocket money - for now...
