Enthusiast Bench

A 1800mm x 900mm ESD cantilever bench from here

Equipment

  • Hameg HM-203s 20MHz analogue oscilloscope
  • Black*Star Jupiter 500 0.1Hz-500kHz function generator (sine, square, sawtooth)
  • Philips PM6622 80MHz counter


Expert Bench

A 1800mm x 900mm ESD cantilever bench from here

Equipment

  • BlackJack BK6000 Rework station
  • Philips PM 3217 50MHz analogue Oscilloscope
  • Thurlby Thandar TG212 0.1Hz-2MHz function generator (sine, square, sawtooth)
  • Thurlby Thandar TF830 1.3GHz high resolution reciprocal measurement

Shared equipment

  • Soldering irons:
    • 2x Tenma AT60D soldering stations (up to 400C)
  • Bench power supplies (e.g. a mix of 5V, 12V, variable, and multi-rail PSUs)
    • Farnell AP20-80: up to 20V at up to 80A
    • Hameg HM7042-3 dual: each channel up to 32V at up to 2A
    • Tenma 72-8695 two channels each up to 32V at up to 3A, plus a single fixed 5V/2A channel
  • Logic analyser:
    • HP 16500A (status unknown: may not be operational but has probes pack)
    • Currently assumed dead.

Components and small tools

  • PCB holders or "helping hands"
  • Magnifying lamps
  • Side cutters
  • Multimeters
  • Wire
  • Selection of basic components (res, caps, v-reg, basic digital logic, basic IC's - 555,358, connectors, cable)

Notes

It would be nice if someone could dig out URLs for manuals for the above, if available, and link to them from their listing lines.
