Hello Dave,
no, pity, I don't have a photo of such a sticker.
But I remember, that I got my first 3458A at Aachen university in
November 1989.
The latest change on the volt happened exactly 1st January 1990, that
was also the last change towards the still valid SI-1990.
So I had a brand new 3458A, with the old Volt, which became invalid
about 2 months later.
As the instrument came directly from the U.S., with the U.S. Volt
inside, the change was quite big, about 7ppm, or so.
I assume, that these stickers date from beginning of 1990, then.
The next redefinition of the Volt will very probably happen end of next
year, for SI-2018.
There will be no stickers, as the change this time will be a few tenths
of a ppm.
Afterwards, the Volt definition then will be 'exact', with zero
uncertainty, instead of about 0.2ppm at the moment.
Frank
