There's more stuff as well as what's shown here, but can only do so much at once. Not enough hours in the day.

That Solartron multimeter takes me back, reminds me of the Sinclair DM2 multimeter on the shelf behind me haha, thanks Jane

It's old school and easily beaten by a decent hand held multimeter these days but it's a good solid reliable meter. Was the Sinclair the one with the purple display?

Somehow came across your video - just subscribed. The old scopes - at times an old analog scope is way nicer to use than a modern digital one (and vice versa). The sometimes unfixable issue with the old scopes is the somewhat custom selector switches - having a second one as ports donor is a great idea. Greetings from Canada.

Both digital and analogue scopes have their place. Digital are good for digital pulse trains etc. but you can't beat a good analogue scope for looking at audio waveforms and transient spikes. Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching.

Hi Jane interesting video. 3:40 the Farnell power supply. I used to work for Advance Power Supplies a subsidiary of Farnell back in the late 80s and early 90s. I was working in the test department I remember using Hitachi oscilloscopes, digital volt meters and other test equipment. Also I used to operate wave and flow soldering systems then attended technical college to learn electronics and tv servicing. Great video Jane looking forward to your next one subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work thanks for sharing.

The Farnell power supply was cheap and I liked the analogue meters, plus it's a linear supply, not a cheap Chinese switched mode supply. A good solid bit of kit. Will need a good going over and some electrolytic capacitor replacements. Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching.

Fun! I got a Hitachi V222 Oscilloscope, I haven't used it since about 1985! I bought it in 1980, 2 channels, 20 MHz, green beam. Fun to see you got some Hitachis' too.

Yes, there are some things you can do better with an analogue scope that you can't do so well with a digital one. Thanks for watching.

You're going places with your lab :) Lovely Datron moldy-meters, I wish I could have one here. Looks splendid. As Dave says, "don't turn it on, take it apart!" - that should always be the case with vintage gear unless it's refurbished or tested and known good. Look for RIFA capacitors in power circuits (mainly on the mains section), replace with extreme prejudice. I'm very curious of that Farnell PSU. It looks very well built.

Lol, 'winner winner chicken dinner'. Somebody needs to tell him it's 'moll-tee-me-ter', or is it 'moll-timiter', haha. We will be taking the Datrons apart, many electrolytic capacitors in the power supply and the analogue board will need changing and perhaps a few nasty old tantalums. They will be a multi-part series of videos. I have a friend whose Solartron 7150 input filter released the magic smoke. It stank the place out, it was really nasty.

i have new gear but much prefer using mid 80,s to early 90.s i love old kit you get more feel for whats going on , a new dso can show you something thats completelly wrong just because of one setting deep in a menu of menus! i run tek 2245a + 2246a fluke 8840a solartron 7150 plus , thurlby thandar psus , and i managed to nab a tti (thurlby thandar) tsa1000 spectrum analiser

Very nice. I have access to a Tek 7834 400MHz storage scope if I need it. Thurlby Thandar power supplies are great. Took the market away from Farnell power supplies. Digital scopes have their place, very good for complex pulse trains, but you can't beat a good analogue scope for analogue signals. Thanks for watching.
