And I do love and appreciate the old, built-to-last-a-lifetime test
equipment ... my bench is all Racal, Tek, HP, Fluke, etc and the median age
is probably at least 25 years but, I mean, $400 is almost halfway to a nice
used spectrum analyzer and I know which I'd rather have :O Choices,
choices...
Best,
Sean

The median listing price for them on eBay for a 29B with pack seems to be
around $3-400 which IMO is a little steep for a 30+ year old PROM
programmer.

Nope. There is a very good reason why they still command such a price.
Worth every penny.
I can't belittle a 30 year old piece of test equipment no more than I
could a similarly aged computer :)
