Welcome to IWETHEY!

New "Jaded"? I paid ~$2K for my Athlon 500.
New Sincere condolences CRC.. gotta recall that in Murica
*Everything* is a commodity.. Well.. I feel less abused by my Otrona "semi-permanent computer purchase" now. But only briefly.

I recently snagged on eBay a fine French* product from Adret Electronique - a 600 MHz synthesized signal generator in near-mint shape all around: for <$300. ~ 5? years ago: cost near $20K !!! here. (This to go with a couple other of their products also stolen earlier)

* Was planning to ask you if.. next time you head for local Rundfunk GmbH, [Radio Schaken Vertrieb Donnervetter?] you might keep eyes peeled for the cute round 1-1.5 cm dia? AC connector cordset (or a half dozen!) = kind whose chassis jack has a fluted outer surface = the cordset would have 3 female sockets. AC wall plug end immaterial of course and, best taken off.

I presume that this business (chassis) end style is used by quite many electronics mfgs - and is not stupidly an Adret-specific design..

Maybe I can grab you something equally shippable, off the local pallets (either actual or virtual) [??] Also I'd really like to find a source for Tech Manuals for 3 Adret thingies - gets reward if you find either of above! Yeah English would be nice, but.. diagrams are polyglot. No joy tryin searches for such - the French aren't biting on such queries as I've made re manuals, and Adret likely has now tossed in the towel to the mega-Lectronic combines.

Nutso world - no one will be able to dupe many of the Tek & other items now going for peanuts, but perhaps soon there won't be as many people capable of using them - either (?)

I'd guess that sending you a box ~ to above, might incur somewhat self- deal-cancelling postal overhead (?)




Cheers,

Ashton

New A) No need, really; B) Sorry, need more detail.
Hey, this was like fifteen months ago, when they weren't all that much cheaper Over There either, so I'm quite all right with it.

'Bout the cords thingy, sure I could pop down the lamp shop at the corner; I'm fairly sure they have extension cables... But I don't quite get all of what you're driving at. E-mail me with more detail; feel free to include some hideous ASCII-"artwork".

(Here's hoping France isn't one of those stupid countries [like Britain...] where the plugs are physically incompatible with ours.)
