My new toys

[Trevor Wilson]

Here are my two new toys:

http://www.barrytech.com/tektronix/tek7000/tek7854.html

It is fitted with a 7A26 (200MHz, dual trace amp), a 7A19 (600MHz,
single trace amp), 7B85 and 7B87. Damned thing works well, except for a
fault with the 7A19). WAY more than I need. I think I'll sell it.

This thing is seriously impressive. Anyone professionally involved in
board work should buy one. An incredible bargain, by any measure.

I've got the (non curve-trace) DCA-55 and love it for exploring unknown
circuits and parts. That and a kit-built LC meter with a double pogo-pin
SMD probe and I have great fun.

**I bought my DCA55 a bunch of years ago. It has been a seriously good
product. The DCA75 is in a completely different league. What did it for
me when I was testing some V-FETs. The DCA55 reported that one of the
V-FETs was buggered. Re-testing with the DCA75 showed that the V-FET was
fine.

BTW: The DCA75 displays quite a bit more information on the built-in
display than the DCA55 does. The curve tracing is icing on a very nice cake.
