[ELECTRON] Maklab Shopping List... Help needed....

[Thomas Parry]

That Roland iModela mill looks very cool, I've never seen it before.

For the Rigol scope, I got mine from mcs test equipment (
http://www.mcs-testequipment.com/) they're an authorised UK Rigol supplier
which is very important in case something does go wrong, your warranty will
be honoured opposed to importing or getting one from ebay where there is no
warranty.  They also calibrate it before they send it out and of course
will calibrate it in the future, not sure how much that costs though as
I've had mine less than a year.

Not sure if anyone's thought of this, but it may pay off to see if it's
possible to get a deal from a company on a community outreach/promotional
type deal.  I know my uni gets a ton of deals from RS for dealing with them
exclusively.  Dave John's at eevblog.com also gets sent equipment from
Agilent.  These two examples are maybe operating at a larger scale than the
Maklab but it still maybe something worth a shot?
