[Lowfer] Selective Voltmeters

Fri, 11 Jan 2002 16:20:20 -0600

I bought last week a HP 3586C for $350.00 on Ebay. It is coming from a used
test equipment shop in Tucson Arizona. It comes with a 10 day right of
return and a 30 day warrantee covering parts and labor and the manual. A guy
on this list told me that this is the Cadillac of Selective Level
Voltmeters. Several in the group are running HP 3586B models with good
success. The shop had about 40 of them in their warehouse last week. They
are coming from Raytheon if I remember correct. It cost about $29.00 to ship
it Fed-x ground.

Hey group,

Topic: Selective Voltmeters / Levelmeters

>From time to time these come available for sale. I've not had any
experience with them but have heard of them being used on LF by some of
the experienced operators. My question, is it risky buying one of these
used, as they appear in various markets? My main interest is LF, say
10kHz to 600kHz.

Some other issues:

   1. For LF, are some more desirable, while others are of be avoided?

   2. Is documentation readily available either in manual form or
friendly cohort advice on user groups?

   3. I know the axiom "You get what you pay for" surely applies here,
but any idea of what is a good $ threshold?

Peter
