[volt-nuts] 540b Arrival...........

[Bill Gold]

David:

    Sounds like you got a good find.  Clean, batteries hold a charge and has
been updated by someone.  The lithium batteries are probably the power for
the modification that solves the problem that the Mercury Battery for the
Reference Supply being "unobtainium" anymore.  I have a pdf of the
modification including schematic.  I can send it to you by PM if you are
interested.

Bill

> Hello All,

> My new to me 540b arrived last evening.  I have never used one of these so
I put it on the bench, opened it up and inspected it looking for leaks
primarily.  EVERYTHING is spotless.  Fluke factory cal stickers everywhere.
AND………….after plugging her in over night, all of the batteries take a charge
and test in the middle of the BATT scale.

in light blue and the two others on top are AA size lithiums.  Two of them
side-by-side.  Was this a factory mod?  All the work looks to be factory,
but who knows if the PO was just REALLY good at clean work.
