[volt-nuts] Buying HP-3458A

[John Phillips]

​They do really offer that service as​ long as you send them a complete
meter... No missing parts. Well they will take a few missing screws and
such. My experience with them is they charge the same no mater what need to
be fixed. Not sure what the price is, there prices are country dependent. I
thought it was a little more than $2200 last I checked.
