Shameless begpost:
Since a couple people have offered, I wonder if I might not be out of line to try my luck openly.
So here’s the story. I’m poor. What money I earn generally goes back into making stuff. That’s fine. It makes me happy and keeps me busy. But it does mean that I face certain challenges, specifically with the cost of test equipment, which is pure capitalist insanity.
My multimeter is absolute dreck. My oscilloscope is of very limited use being an El Cheapo model. I need better gear, and can’t afford it. I have been getting a lot of mileage out of crap gear, but there is a limit to what can be done.
So if you have test equipment gathering dust, like a bench meter, oscilloscope, logic probe, bench power supply, that sort of thing, I would be very happy and grateful to adopt it. Your basic test equipment you’d expect to use if you were designing a computer from scratch. I don’t need fancy, but nearly anything is better than what I have. Don’t deprive yourself on my account though - I’m soliciting specifically stuff that is going unused.
And if not, no worries.
