Didn't make this a poll because of the wide range of answers that I could imagine. Item does not have to be XB3
A few suggestions: Specific part number, priorities, item type, or general pain in the ass items.
"Never hurts to NRTS."
"NRTS them all let QA sort it out."
"My wings have healed." - Probably a parrot said this.

Me - I code anything older than I am.  If it is as old as my kids are I flip a coin.

I enjoy NRTS 9'ing the coffee machines and the tube TVs.  Nothing compares to a Bunn...  I also enjoy obtaining permission to disassemble old useless printers to use the parts for projects and test fixtures.
If you are not interested in the science, then you have mistaken me for someone who is content to work next to the demon called indifference.  Get thee hence back to your hell, you greedy and heartless devil, and leave my people free to feel good about the instruments they study.  They are your mothers and fathers, not your mindless subjects.

After PMEL at howard AFB, Panama,(actually Albrook) I went to work for Boonton. Thinking that it was a big company. what I surprise, I even wonder how they got the military contracts. we were only 4 service techs. my vote goes for any Boonton equipment except the distortion analyzers

HalAC

Any DMM made by Beckman.

Trig-Tek is a close second.
