[HECnet] My VAX lost its mind!

[Ian McLaughlin]

Mine's a cheap Chinese DT-9935 - $140.   Free shipping from most Ebay vendors.

I do like HP gear, but the 4276A is a bit steep for me :)

The best tool for repairing switching supplies (or monitors, for that

over the years, this one probably gets the most use!   They use such a
low voltage, you can usually use them in-circuit without having to
desolder the component off the board before testing.   Only takes a
few minutes to go through a power supply and identify the suspect
electrolytics.

Agreed 100%.   I use an HP 4276A for exactly that.
