[Swansea Hackspace] Free freee free!

[Davies T.]

Dear Justin,

Hope that helps.

The LCR bridge and the fancy 7603 CRO
I envisage as "one off" assets for the HS.
We cannot possibly afford a scope as good
as that one. When it was new (admittedly a
long time ago) its cost was about half an
annual wage.

Timothy

Great, thanks for the update, the multimeters suddenly sound a lot more
interesting, and that tek CRO would be wonderful.
we shall be delighted to relieve you of them :)
thank you very much.
