now, can I get an absurdly cheap 3458A, too?

not even any screen burn in!!!!

it even came with all its calibration certs, starting when new in 1994, and ending in 2016:

lmao @halkyardo.bsky.social the $50 54504A is absolutely fine. including the NVRAM. what.

nonan

luckily there aren't too many tantalums on this board (just four by the look of it)

C11, which is another tantalum across the 5V rail, is also a very low resistance lmao.

two, actually, since they're connected in parallel (C64, and C65). the one looks like an epoxy package tantalum, so that's more suspect than the ceramic.

already found one sus ceramic decoupling cap reading 33ohms to ground lol

with it unplugged (and now removed to poke around at it), the BlueSCSI boots just fine.
