Re: [Amateur-repairs] Old test eqpt? Chuck it? Refurbish it?

 Alan, btw what do you have for equipment? I am always interested in gear that I can buy. I bought an old tube eico signal generator at a hamfest last year and spare set of tubes for it. I love the older stuff like that. Do you have an inventory? Craig

I see your point, but…. It reenforces a typical stereotype that old equipment is not as useful or as good as newer equipment, which I am sure many people here will disagree.

New equipment has less hours and most is microprocessor controlled which is nice if you want to just push a button and let the machine figure it all out. Older equipment required at least a basic understanding of the process, valuable back then to old timers like myself, but apparently, not so much to the younger generation.
