[volt-nuts] 3458 references on ebay again

[Charles Steinmetz]

>Wonder where he got them????

Many organizations require procurement contracts to include an 
assortment of spares.  When instruments are retired, any remaining 
spares become unnrecessary and may be sold as surplus.

(The instruments themselves often do not reach the surplus market -- 
one of my clients recently crushed 24 3458As along with other 
instruments that would have been worth hundreds of thousands of 
dollars on ebay.)

Best regards,

Charles
