[volt-nuts] Solartron 7071 on ebay UK

[Robert Atkinson]

Well  the 7071 (ebay item 331132151681) arrived today. Fast service and well packed. condition of the case is a little scratched up but the front panel is fine. Last calibration was by IFR and expired November  2013. No constraints and all stickers intact. Checked for rattles and correct voltage and pluged it in. Good news was a "resumed" message :-) It came complete with an original Solartron input lead so I let it warm up for a couple of hours and plugged it into my 10V reference (Commercial LTZ1000A based unit of unknown make ex UK MOD) and got 9.999999V :-))).
I'm a happy camper.

Nice find on the 7071 :)

I append here to David's message:

if anyone happen to have or know of a foating
board of a 7071 or 7081, I'd like have one to play
with. I'm not referring to your meter, David,
since I'm not searching the whole meter but the board
only at a small enough price to play with it.
I remember some time ago (probably one year or so)
I saw an ebay auction of bare 7081 boards.

Thanks,
Fabio Eboli.
