I don't know about Germany, but in the UK a traditional "joke" is that young kids spend longer playing with the box than the present.
Yes, it is the same here. :D

Re: Keithley 179 bench multimeter

🤦

Sorry, seems I have taken a wrong turn (179 vs. 175)

Summertime needs to be ending, it is too hot.

Re: Keithley 179 bench multimeter

I assume, this is the voltage reference (the red diode)? Looks like an 1N82XA type.

Edit:
I'm a bit confused. The subject is saying "Keithley 179" but then you are showing us a Keithley 175?
🤔

Seems, it is a 1N4577:

Re: Keithley 179 bench multimeter

There's a Keithley 175 on my local CL about 15 minutes away from a seller I've done business with before and he's legit. Price is good and supposedly works. Can't make up my mind to go for it or not. I have plenty of DMM's here but no Keithley's. Did I just say that? :lol: https://hudsonvalley.crai...

He was born late May - early June last year so he's now fully grown. And yes, he has put a little extra weight. Since he is strictly an indoor cat we have already taken steps to cut back on his food and try to exercise him as much as possible. Perhaps you need something like this: https://www.youtu...
