Hi Tony Absolute Calibration in the UK charged 144UKP+VAT to measure a SR104. This included pickup and dropoff using their own vehicle! Their stated capability is to +/- 0.24ppm Very happy with them so far, they can also do zener measurements, e.g 10V to within 0.23ppm, for similar price. Joh

One thing to watch out for on the 5450A is burned out segments in the 14-segment LED displays. The display chip they used is rather weird (each 14 segment digit is actually two 7-segment displays mixed together) and VERY unobtainium. Mine has a missing segment on one of the digits and I have

David, Depending on the time frame needed for these resistors you can order many (but not all) of the parts from Farnell. I believe the Rhopoint resistors are the recommended brand. The high value resistors could be Caddock USF series. Another alternative would be to contact Edwin Pettis. He manu

The red 'sealant' is Glyptal laquer. Probably safe to water wash. I would not use any solvent on the bobbins. The black encapsulates are likely Vishay, if they look like CK-05/6 ceramic caps. Alcohol should be safe for a quick rinse. -John = > Nothing abrasive should be used. Soa

Nothing abrasive should be used. Soap and water and old toothbrush is what I would try. Very high values avoid water! I use a cheap ultrasonic clear for some things in the shack! Raj VU2ZAP (former resistor manufacturer) At 17-08-2013, you wrote: >What is the recommended method for cleaning dirt

What is the recommended method for cleaning dirt, oil, etc from precision resistors? I'm talking about a combination of wirewound on plastic bobbins, wirewound on mica (and sealed with something) and an unknown type that is encapsulated in black plastic rectangles. These are all 1950-1960 vintage a
