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

For years, I had collected all kinds elec. gear - fixed a few - stored the rest until a couple years ago - that's when I started cleaning out.

However, I have to watch that I don't start saving again.

New cabinets sure are expensive compared to years ago.  Then the shipping is vey expensive.  I have picked up several computer cable switch boxes and built the Arduino projects in them.  Always on the lookout at hamfests for boxes to repurpose for home brew.

I have a lot of old consumer type test gear such as EICO, Heathkit, RCA, PACO,  etc.

 

One use for old test gear that is no longer usable / repairable is to use the cabinet for a home brew project.

New cabinets and even chassis are way out of sight price wise.

 

Just my 2 cents worth.
