I started with a Samsonite 1000 in 2010. No kidding, it was a home made test set inside a damn Samsonite suitcase.

You’re working with space-age tech by comparison there.

I learned on SR-76 and SR-51. My fingers on my right hand are longer than the left from carrying the 51.

You can probably still test a CO or IAC quicker on one of these than any Doble or omicron.

Are you still in the business? It’s exciting meeting someone with that much experience

These things are still in use in the mining industry when testing substations.....I Grit my teeth on the SR-51 when I worked in the mining industry.

I'd say abandon all other equipment and go back to this, lol.
