Types of gear include bench power supplies, variacs, oscilloscopes,<br>
frequency counters, vintage multimeters, function generators, frequency<br>
vector meters, etc. A lot of it was donated by HP/Agilent. We'll be<br>
doing a walkthru of the components this week, and will have a full list<br>
after that.<br>
