My electronics/physics lab

      Here is where I am at, constructive criticism only please;
    1. Victor high resolution frequency counter .01Hz to 2.4 GHz
    2. Heathkit 10-105 dual trace oscilloscope
    3. Heathkit IM-18 VTVM meter
    4. GC dual polarity power supply 1-35 volts
    5. Heathkit IT-28 magic eye LCR bridge 1-600 volts
    6. Eico 666 transconductance vacuum tube/transistor checker
    7. Heathkit RF signal generator with int/ext audio modulator
    8. Victoreen CDV 717 ion counter
    9. Victoreen CDV 700 r4 Geiger Counter

    While I recommend the EIco 666/667 line of testers for their range they are not a real Gm Or Mutual transconductance tester. But then again it is a tester: not an analyzer., Testers are only supposed to give "Good or bad" kind of tests.Aside from that all I can critique is the lack of a good DMM( fluke and the like) for when you work with SS electronics.the 666 tester does have limitations given it's sockets but that can be worked around. as for the rest those are bloody brilliant! you have some excellent bench pieces there.
    are you storing the americium sample in lead pigs bychance?
    and from that pump are you considering making vacuum tubes? If so I have a few links you might like.

    as for the rest I think its better to let the older members speak but I will say one thing: make very sure those new filters are still good and sealed. I would recommend practicing quickly putting the mask on but again there are others who know more on that end.
