I guess you are not the only one who is busy at work. That could
explain the slow answering. And I already told pretty much all I
know...

The 735 prototypes were some sort of  "missing link" between the 731B
and the 732A. The project probably started as a "temperature
stabilized 731B" and the reference circuitry of the C version was
quite close to the commercial 732A.

>Do you have any 'specifications' or other documents about it?

I think the 735 series was an R&D project rather than a commercial
product. Someone who worked for Fluke could have something.

3300 ohms => 50 - 55 C oven temperature. The actual value is not
important, if the resistance is stable the oven works as it should.

The charger circuitry could be closer to the 731B than the 732A...
