That $200 Anritsu power meter I snagged on eBay

Picked up a used Anritsu ML2438A power meter from a seller on eBay for $200. Figured it was a risky buy since it had no calibration cert and some scratches on the case. Hooked it up to a known good source on the bench and it read within 0.2 dB of our shop's calibrated unit. Been using it for fault isolation on a couple of Falcon 900s for the past month and it hasn't flinched. Saved me from having to wait three weeks for the repair station to loan me one. Has anyone else rolled the dice on used test gear and gotten lucky or burned?

Score is score, especially at that price.

@sarah531 nailed it, I snagged a used spectrum analyzer for half price and it's been solid for two years.
