Dropped 400 bucks on a used spectrum analyzer and it paid off in 2 days
I got a beat up old spectrum analyzer off a guy on Craigslist in Phoenix for 400 dollars. The screen has a scratch and one knob is a little sticky, but it helped me track down a weird interference issue on a King radio install that I had been chasing for three days. Turned out the coax was running too close to a strobe power supply and picking up noise. Swapped the cable route and the problem just vanished. Now I take that thing on every job, it's been a lifesaver more than once. Has anyone else picked up used test gear that ended up being way better than you expected?

Funny how fixing broken stuff teaches you more than anything new ever does.
