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

Alan. Sorry to say but there's just one problem with the "I told you so"moment. When the Chinese product fails there will be another one more advanced, with more capabilities and at a lesser price. The old test equipment will just be …..OLDER.

I have a huge amount of older Hewlett Packard RF equipment which no one wants, the sub assemblies alone are of value to those who build their own electronic projects instead of from kits. I also collect old antique General Radio equipment and am very grateful that the previous owners did not scrap them out, but I am too old to see any resurgence in 1980's vintage equipment, except for some people who scrap them for the gold content (which is considerable)

I do hold out for when the Chinese units fail and cannot be made to work by any amount of technician magic. Sort of an "I told you so" moment.
