Hi Michael,

I have had good luck cleaning some marks with a product called "Soft Scrub" It doesn't always work but when it does it is impressive. It does have a very mild abrasive property so experiment before applying too much pressure.

If you manage to fix and sell the ones with issues separately, you may end up at a win.

Great find, that looks almost pristine inside.

Kind regards.

Looks like you made a good purchase.

HP gear used to be a staple for any laboratory or work bench.

Hi Michael,

Interesting blog post! Really great find. And the build quality! - that quadruple-PCB design looks really good.

Nice breakout box idea too!

Regarding your comment about exotic cables, by coincidence I've been looking for some multi-core pair-screened cables recently, and noticed that Canford supplies some interesting cables.. intended for audio/video and broadcast, but really convenient for stuff like test instruments (I wanted to have source/sense wiring for an LCR meter). Not cheap unfortunately, I've only got a few metres of several types.
