not1xor1 Congratulations !!!! Mine think I'll have it on monday
The display looks bright?
Warning!!!It was set for 100VAC supply.
BTW Agilent manual states that one has to use the 220VAC setting for 230VAC (Europe standard supply voltage).
I held down the Shift key while switching the multimeter on to perform a full self test with PASS as result.
The display is a bit dim, but still quite readable. Probably it is 10-15 years old.
There is a 2003 in the middle of a long code number on a sticker inside, but I've no idea if this has any relation to the manufacture date.
I tested a few voltages and 0.1% resistors. I got the feeling it is a few tenths of ppm off.
But I do not have any new calibrated instrument to compare it with, apart an older Fluke 8842A which agrees by one digit with one of those cheap voltage references sold on ebay (the one with handwritten sticker).
Besides that the multimeter was quite hot, probably 30-35°C when I unboxed it.
I'll make more tests tomorrow, but that might better fit in a different section of the forum.
Updatethe local courier (delivery was not handled directly by UPS) called me and told I had to pay 57.63€ for customs expenses...
a bit more than I expected but the total cost is still around 100€ less than the average ebay price for items in such good condition
