[time-nuts] Tektronix AM503X current probes

[David C. Partridge]

You're buying magic all the time if you are a member of this list and have a
half decent collection of toys!

I assume you've had pieces of kit where you accidentally released the magic
smoke and they stopped working.

The price of the particular piece of magic in question is high for at least
two reasons:

 1) The spell in question is a mighty powerful one (very difficult and
expensive to make) and cost a lot new ($2200 in 1990)!

 2) Simple scarcity

Hello and Happy New Year,

 

I've always wanted to get a current probe and amp like those just because of
the magic Mark is talking about. But, specially compared to almost any other
TM50X plugin, their prices are difficult to justify. Why is it that they are
so expensive?? ( how much did they cost new ???? ) I've never bought magic
before :-)...

 

Regards & 73's
