Christopher, Back in January of this year I purchased a 5061A from Test Equipment Surplus (Mr. Joon Kyong). It was defective and I sent it back, expecting a prompt refund. However, no amount of begging and pleading had any effect until I left negative feedback. He responded that very day! I did eventually get most of my money back except for return shipping, which was very expensive. I lost about $80.00 on the entire transaction and ended up with nothing. I, too, will never purchase anything from him again.
