Default WTB: Distortion meter

I know this may prompt cry's of "but you like SET's why do you want one
of those", but I don't suppose anyone here in the UK has a unwanted HP
334 or such like that they would consider exchanging for a sensible sum
of money? I have been watching on ebay for some time, but can't talk
myself into paying the shipping from the states where they all seem to be.

I'm sure there must be a few around. I've got a 339A, one on there a
snip at 1200 sheets!.

There are quite a few suppliers of S/H test gear in the UK.

If you can find one, go for a Ferrograph RTS1. It is an all-in-one audio
measuring set, includes distortion and level, has a low distortion
oscillator and can measure drift and wow and flutter. They were made in the
UK, so you won't have to pay shipping charges. Measures down to 0.1%
full-scale, so if the distortion is below what you can measure, you don't
need to worry about it.

You'd be surprised what they go for on Ebay. Especially if in good
cosmetic condition as most are rather battered. And with the optional
balancing/monitoring unit.

BTW, I've scanned and OCR'd the instruction manuals for both units as most
are supplied secondhand without. The circuit diagrams are best photocopied
to double size. I've cleaned up both the circuit diagrams but not the
other parts and exploded views which were all pretty poor on my originals.
