I have reviewed the prior postings on Volt-nuts (a very rewarding review, BTW)) regarding the 732A and have two questions:
1. Has anyone determined the part number, or a source, for the mating plug to J10, the external power connector for the 732A-7005 battery pack? I noted some postings recently about this but did not find a definitive response regarding the identity of this plug. The alternative would appear to be a complete replacement of J10 and its plug, as long is it all fits in the opening in the panel. I hate to 'bore holes' in vintage equipment. 2. The oven thermistor in my 'new to me' unit measures 4229 ohms (+/- an ohm or two) after the unit has warmed up for a week or so. I note the manual refers to 3K to 4K for the value of this thermistor when the unit is 'stable' as well as other's posting values in the mid 3500's ohms for their units. Should I be concerned? The unit seems to be stable to within about 2 uV over about a week (as measured by my 3458A - see below). Should I open the unit and try to measure the oven temperature or just be satisfied that the unit seems to be working? I had to replace the four 6V 4AH SLA batteries and they charged up appropriately as judged by the front panel LED's. I had to remove the 'jumper' for the '40' option on the A7 board and connect the jumper to the '20' and '10' options (total of '30') in order to get the unit to adjust to 10.0000000 VDC on my 'Agilent In Cal'd' 3458A. The need to change the jumpers, perhaps, could be just an ageing issue or, on the other hand, a 'temperature' issue with the oven. Should I open the unit and directly measure the temperature (supposedly about 48 degrees C) or just be satisfied with what I have? My recently added 735C also needed moving some 'jumpers' in order to get it 'on scale', as determined by my 3458A, although it's thermistor measures about 3330 ohms (after being on for several weeks). Thanks for everyone's help.
