Nice! It seems that there's only one seller one e*ay uk selling ex-MOD

the location's the same so...
An HP 1660 or
1670 series self-contained portable logic analyzer
might be nice to pick up if you can get a decent deal on one. The
main limitation of the 1660 series is that the sample depth is only
4K samples per channel. The 1670 series offers deeper sample depths,
and they may sell at a higher price as a result. And of course a
sub-model with more channels is better than one with fewer channels.
The problem with used logic analyzers is that the prices can vary
widely. My 1663 was purchased from eBay for $47 shipped, was clearly
from a rental service, as it was complete; nothing missing. I use an LA less than a 'scope, so the price is
right for me. Mostly,
I'm interested in looking at peripheral device timing, so it's perfect
for the occasional head-scratcher.
My Tek 2225 scope is getting a lot of use on this project, but because I
have zero documentation there's an awful lot of unknowns so following a
signal around the board should be easier with an LA.
I don't know where you're located, but if
you're in a region with an
Electro Rent depot, you might inquire to see if they turn their old gear
over to an auctioneer.
I'm in the increasingly-isolationist and possibly soon to be ringfenced UK.
