HP 1630G Logic Analyzer

This is a piece of equipment I could have 
only dreamed of having back when I built 
Chip II.  Of course, back in those days 
I didn't know about eBay ;) 
This thing will let me actually look at bus 
signals on the various boards I construct and 
do useful debugging on actual circuits.

JDR 2000 Oscilloscope

This is a 30MHz dual-trace scope.
 One day I was looking at a surplus
 electronics website and saw it listed for
 $125.  My jaw literally hung open, and I
 just had to buy it.  It came without a power
 cord or probes, but those items were easy
 to replace. |
