Hello, I have been a long timer lurker of the list via the archive. It was a big help getting my Ebay 3457a up and running. Now I hate to be that guy that joins the list and then BAMB tuns around as asks a favor but i'm afraid I have to be that guy. I am looking for a relay card for the 3457a. I need to set up a board level tester and the internal scan card would simplify things quite a bit. Ether relay card would work, I'm happy to pay for the card or trade for the rear terminal card and cover shipping. (I'm in CA USA) I have been looking on ebay as well. If a unit come up I will jump on it. A detected switch unit is also a less than ideal option but so be it. One way or another the tester will get put together. Thank you for your time. Link

Unless someone has one and is up to selling it, my thoughts would be to set up a user defined search on the big auction site and have it notify you. Like anything if you are not in a rush you can like just about everything get one for a pretty good price. If in a rush expect to pay around $200-250 for either the 44491A or 44492A with the terminal block. And like any mechanical relay based scanner/card/etc be prepared to have to replace relays. Luckily HP used ones that are easy to get. The thing missing for me with the 3457A is a low noise mux using parts like Hg wetted relays. Space has not been an issue for me, I use 3497A's and/or VXI for building up scanners.

I think the card that goes in the dedicated scanner made by HP that looks like the 3457, can’t remember the number but I have one, also fits. I think I paid less than $35 for my scanner shipped. I also think the display in that unit fits the 3457 and the 3478 but never took a hard look at it.

The scanner that came out the same time is the 3488A http://www.rlscientific.com/documenti/HP3488A.pdf The above PDF is from an HP catalog. http://www.helmut-singer.de/pdf/hp3457a.pdf The 2nd half is in English On Thu, May 12, 2016 at 9:16 AM, Jerry Hancock <jerry@hanler.com> wrote: > I think the card that goes in the dedicated scanner made by HP that looks like the 3457, can’t remember the number but I have one, also fits.
