Subject: frequency counter with Nixie-type display
From: "JOE" Date: 12/25/2004 6:02 PM Eastern Standard Time Message-id: 1104016165.a00190babfd53eeb870a9213cd93b8af@megan etnews2 No bad digits or segments, otherwise operationally unknown. Appearance is VG (high-res JPEGs available). $25 plus shipping without manual (I paid $40 for an original manual). $45 plus shipping with manual. (Manual alone is $40 shipped.) [Translation: I bought this damn thing, paid $40 for a manual, and STILL could not get it to work. Better call it 'untested'] Well, no, although I can see why you'd think that. Real translation: I already had two perfectly good counters but had a thing for Nixie displays (as I said in the ad) so I got this one, then went looking for a manual because I ALWAYS get one for all my gear (which may not be rational, but the whole boatanchor thing isn't totally rational), found one, paid $40 for it, flipped the counter on to watch the display show random numbers, watched again a few other days, let the counter sit for a couple of years, and decided to sell it on the same basis that I bought it: a counter with a working display. Don't let the shanigans of a few less-than-honest SOBs turn you completely cynical. Avery W3AVE Potomac, Md. |
