I went into a
surplus store today and found a complete set of HP logic
probes, pulser, chip clip and comparator. I asked what the price was and
the onwer ran over to his computer and checked to see what they were
selling for on E-bay. Needless to say, I left without buying it.
Well, Joe, you are a good scrounger. I bet you will find another. Out of
curiosity what was he asking for the set?
FWIW, Joe, I don't blame you either. I will admit to using E-pay as an
occasional reference, but I also take other factors into account. Example:
If someone wants an 11/23 board or something, I'm not about to ask for the
"collector" price. That would be silly.
Last summer, I actually did buy an HP 545 logic probe from a guy who had
it on E-pay. I was the only bidder at its asking price of around $25.
They do turn up. Just be aware that there was a nearly identical model to
the 545 that was only for ECL circuits, and the physical appearance
(outside of the model number) is no different.
