I believe the voltages are correct but I have no schematics or troubleshooting instructions to confirm. I do see what looks like a battery in the memory section of the 1082 and it measures 0.08 VDC. Not a good sign. I am really hoping someone has a Datron 1082 Service manual with schematics that they can steer me to, preferably a soft copy so I can better troubleshoot the unit. It might just need a new battery (plus a re-cal) to get it going again but I hate going blind.
