[volt-nuts] have the 7061. You let yours on for twenty four hours. I do that with, my calibrators ect but I did it once with my solartron and I allmost had, a fire. It was over 30 degrees Celcius and the meter got so hot it

I have two 7061's, and yes, they run quite hot. I do leave mine on for 
months at a time, though, and they run just fine. Don't touch that 
little metal box inside, though. It gets VERY hot. :)
Amusing thing is that it's not an oven, it's just a shield around some 
noisy 74Sxxx chips.

Regardless of how hot they seem to run, they were designed for 
continuous use. I figure if they've lasted 30 years, they'll probably 
keep going.

The 7081 runs considerably cooler.
