    My second purchase from this seller and no disappointment here. The item arrived very well packed for the transatlantic journey and was accuartely described and as pictured. For a used item it was in very good condition and complete with all accessories. Being genuine Tektronix means good quality, but at a price. In this case I feel the sellers price was quite reasonable. Again, very pleased with this transaction, and would recommend this seller, despite the distance.

    Outstanding eBay seller, excellent communications, very accurate and well documented description, professional protective packaging and immediate shipping. The Tektronix TDS5052 Oscilloscope is in very good used condition overall but with some operating system issues, a great starting point for restoration. I have this seller on my favored sellers list for their many high-quality items, great pricing/negotiating and excellent packaging/shipping.

    Very pleased with my purchase from Solano Traders. The vintage user's manual arrived in like-new condition, seeming better than in the posting description. The item price and shipping cost were very reasonable. The book was packaged well to ensure no damage during shipping and handling. No my first purchase from them, and certainly not my last. A very reputable seller!

    No frills, just superb accuracy and speed

    My 33478a is at least 20 years old and works perfectly. Superb accuracy. There's no bells and whistles on these- you can measure AC/DC voltage and current, and resistance, and that's it. No math functions, memory, continuity, etc. But you can measure anything from 300V down to 100 -nano- Volts, with the autoranging settling in to the correct reading in under a second. I have handheld meters with lots more features, but nothing that matches the speed and ease of use of this precision instrument.

    Excellent value

    The display isn't great to read, but it's acceptable, and it's a high quality benchtop dmm. I recommend it with a caveat: if you're on a budget, it's a far better choice than a no-name meter with a sexy display and bad quality

    HP 3478A Digital Multimeter

    Beautiful meter. Typical Hewlette Packard quality. May not be 'State of the Art' but this kind of measuring equipment is ageless. Just replace the calibration backup battery every 20 years or so and your good to go! Highly recommend for the technician's bench.

    Good accurate meter, but...

    1st off check the battery, OK, tested some voltages, again, OK. Then I checked all my test leads to see if any would fit in the front pkanel jacks- no go. not a one of my test lead sets will seat in the jacks. Now I am searching for leads that will work. This is info that should be mentioned, with possibly a source listed for leads. I will alter this review when I have found leads, with a source.

    Solid DVM Choice

    Older design DVM but still a solid bench-top performer. Arrived working correctly and within calibration. Excellent 4 wire ohms performance, good thermal stability. Newer color LED meters look prettier but the HP3478A is more likely to be working years from now.
