Neat score today...

While poking around for some batteries and a coax adapter at one of the local electronics supply places, I came across (much to my utter surprise) a fairly clean Fluke 9010A micro-system troubleshooter plus two pods: One for the original Motorola 68000, the other for the 6809/6809E. I asked about it, and was told that it was open for offers. Taking a long shot, I said "would $50 be OK?" Less than a minute later, the answer was "You got it!" I've seen the pods alone go for over three times that on Greed-bay. However, I have no intention of putting this unit up for grabs. They're way too useful for working on older embedded-CPU gear. What really amazes me is that finding something like this was the farthest thing from my mind. I was going to go to the local Radio Shack instead of all the way across town, but a tiny mental nudge said "No, go to Tukwila instead." Once again, I've found that listening to one's "inner voice" can be greatly rewarding to one's test gear collection (if a bit hazardous to one's checkbook). ;-) Keep the peace(es). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner & Head Hardware Heavy, Blue Feather Technologies -- http://www.bluefeathertech.com kyrrin (at) bluefeathertech do/t c=o=m "If Salvador Dali had owned a computer, would it have been equipped with surreal ports?"
