Home labs of electronics engineers?

tin_xdevs over 10 years ago

Or should I say more, caves? That's what volt-nutting can bring you into:

 

Home lab

 

Most of gear was saved from scrapping by repairs. Collected stuff over last 5 years or so. DMM collection quickly grew after getting into precision DC voltage obsessions, with voltage references and such.

Total list of gear as by today:

6 x Keithley 2001 DMM (2 still need some repairs)

1 x Keithley 2002

1 x Keithley 2000 (not shown here)

1 x Keithley 2400 SMU

1 x Keithley 2510 TEC SMU

HP 4263B (LCR Meter)

HP 33120A ARB 15MHz

Tektronix CSA7404 with pair of P7380 probes  TCA-1MEGTCA-1MEG some P6245's

Tektronix TLA714 with TLA7AA4 and set of probes (P6810, 2 x P6860, some mictor adapters, etc)

EDC MV106 DC Voltage standard (+-30ppm)

Few selfmade LM399 and Linear LTZ1000 stable references

ESI DB52 decade resistor

ERSA ICON1 soldering iron

Bunch of Vishay Precision Group 0.2ppm resistors for testing/calibration.

    I'd like to see this at the Smithsonian (among a lot of other things, natch). They've recreated Ralph Baer's home workshop as an exhibition, and his original Brown Box console prototypes are there too…

    Hi Illya,

    Wow, What a beautiful concentration of precision. It looks like you have a variety of projects in the works too. I have recently up graded my shop area in the basement. It is always a work in progress though. I had my first very rudimentary shop 58 years ago and by now one would think that I would have finally figured it all out but the process of innovation and renovation continues. In contrast to your beautiful equipment I would characterize my collection as Practical Mediocre. Fortunately that is the level of my expertise as well so the shop and I suit each other quite well.

    My décor is totally dependent on what my lady doesn't want upstairs.

    Thanks

    Agreed! Plants are really good for helping to keep the air fresh, especially when it's somewhere that tends to be closed off, and where you might be soldering a lot.

     

    Also, this has to be the neatest and cleanest workshop I've ever seen, jw0752! Beautifully demonstrates the value of embracing your OCD! imageimage

    Hi John,

     

    Your lab is great. Especially the personal touches like the space exploration posters, photo of Einstein, etc.. makes it very inspiring while working I bet.

    I was lucky to see the launch of the last shuttle mission, I'll have to share the photos sometime.

    And much like you, I have a lot of boxes! I have less space though, so that makes it challenging.

    Yes there isn't much doubt that on some level OCD and I are good friends.

    I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, if you can make it work to your advantage :-D

     

    And clearly you have, judging by that pristine workshop!
