The power supply was a huge saving on a new one. The seller was very helpful prior to me buying when I was trouble shooting my PC. The item was promptly shipped and was well packed. This seller is highly recommended.
Tektronix TDS 5104 Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope 1GHz 5GS/s 4ch - AS IS

Tektronix TDS5104 Oscilloscope
Tektronix TDS5104 Oscilloscope though now an old unit sold as is with several faults I am slowly fixing each problem and should be fully working soon with more memory and faster cpu.
A well made product of its time with good shielding along with its other versions so far well pleased with it. Modern products may be smaller and lighter but this was based on an OS with software program that existed so repairs are more viable than a flash program chip which can forget/damaged so no further use.
There is plenty of information on this range of test gear along with people who have worked on them over the years and give a good source of repair help.
I am an older engineer and prefer items that can be more easily fixed, these units are at a good price now and so far well pleased.

Chicken Coops: 45 Building Plans for Housing Your Flock by Judy Pangman
An interesting book I found, with a collection of Coops that have been made by various contributors to this book showing a vast variation of designs.
Diagrams are set out in basic form (not overly technical) giving overal size dimensions along with some timber sizes enough to allow you to copy and build. Many designs for larger flocks along with some curious/fancy designs, I will admit it did put me off at first but for those who like to make their own coop with material at hand then this is for you.
After looking through it did find it more interesting than first impression so would recommend this book to those who would like to build their own design with information regarding enough space to suit desired flock size and avoid overcrowding with its problems.
Universal Battery Tester For AAA,AA C.D.9vlt

Universal Battery Tester for AAA,AA,C,D,9volt and button cell
This is a hard one to try and stay objective, there is less variety of testers around now so this type has become more popular to locate and purchase but while it has good points there are some issues.
On its good side price is the main thing, with a clear meter display makes for easy battery level checking also types that it covers makes this a versatile unit.
It though has several points which cause me concern, mainly being the test current used which to me is very hostile to some battery types compared to those testers from an earlier time. This a personal view that a load is required for testing but not so much to add to its degradation or shortening of life.
I am aware that a good test can show up things like a heavy test on a car battery will show up faulty cells by their gassing, also because most batteries now are higher powered with much larger capacity so loading can be greater as a result, my view would be less load but test for longer watching a meter trending that may drop lower during this time.
On this point test current for 1.5v cells is about 0.4amps fine for most but maybe a little cruel for AAA sort, but over heavy for the standard carbon construction cells for which I prefer to say 0.25amp is better. This high current is also applied to those poor button cells which have not got 0.4amp to start with!
Button cells to me would be about 1mA to say 5mA at most as these types are more designed to supply very low power for a good period of time.
9v also has a heavy load of 45mA which for lesser cheaper types is pretty much their capacity my option would be say 10mA to 15mA and watch the meter.
For my purpose it became a modified unit using the meter to reflect these points I have made, I would say test your batteries quickly and not linger, plus avoid button cell testing unless you must check one which is a fiddle to do anyway and be quick.
A viable tester otherwise, used with care at a great price what more can be said.
