Hi David, It was at a Ham Radio swap meet. Friday was setup day and for a change I decided to have a table to see if I could get some junk to end up in someone elses basement. Seller didn't know what she had, everything on the table was $30-50, the Fluke was $40, offered her $20 not expecting to

Hi Roy, I would like to second Todd's advice about leaving the Fluke 732A's output voltage adjustment alone. You already have stable outputs and 24 microvolts high is very acceptable. My Datron 4910 (four output supply) has predictable digital output level settings that doesn't have any luck

Last Friday picked up a Fluke 3330B with manual for $20. Cal expired late 2012. Anything to look out for when I get a chance to plug it in ? -pete ___ volt-nuts mailing list -- volt-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailma

Roy: I use a ( General Cement ) GC 8276 adjustment tool to make the pot adjustments in the 732A. I use the end that has the recessed metal blade. The pots are about 3.5 inches back from the front panel. It sometimes is very difficult to engage the tool slot in the pot. It helps to look thro

Todd Thank you - I'm sure you are right - leave alone - as my 24 micro V is very stable, and always come up following an auto-cal. on the 3458A The 1.0800 v reads 1.018006 , and the 1. v reads 1.10. I gather the latter two outputs are derived from the 10 volt source, so would be affecte

Roy, The 732A uses the 3059Y-1-101 type cermet pot for the 10V adjustment. You can use a simple plastic tweaking tool for adjustment. I believe you will need a fairly long tool. You can shine a light into one of the other holes to see the orientation of the pot. However, many people may prefer to

Hi Joe Sorry if I am retracing steps, but I have recently had my 3458A restored/recal'd by Agilent - its good to have it back. I also have a Fluke 732A which I can now check. Currently it is 10.24 volts, I now feel confident to trim it to the 3458A. I have tried to see the trimmers in each
