Wonder what TEA got to greedy TiN this time? You guys will never guess, but many would surely want this!  :popcorn:



Hint, it made by Fluke, uses something from Fluke 732B, but it is no 732B.  ;)





Read the rest about SL935

EDIT 8 May 2017:

Livestream recording of SL935 cable connections fix and assembly in 732B-7001 chassis.

Youtube

Schematics for resistor standard was recovered, and oven settings captured.

Initial data after reassembly with oven working revealed <0.5ppm difference to standalone measurement I made week ago.

Something with a battery, powered all the time?

You must have a very good position on Santas Naughty or Nice-List.

5790B don't have battery to power. :)
Actually the thing it rather small. It's only 30% of the package on the photo on the left side, rest is 5700A transformer assembly  :-/O

You saw black Fluke 732A's? :) Last time I've checked those are beige white.

It's not 732B, but it does have three digits in model number.  :-DMM

I've heard so. Surely parts used came right from some serious gray beard-designed gear.

Nope, 792A is about twice as large than this, even without battery block.

And I've already posted about 792A, so that cat is out...

I'm just curious who is hardcore enough precision-nut to know about this thing, as I discovered it just few weeks ago. Was enough for me to start throwing cash at seller though.  :palm:

It's either long EOL or my google skills are in poor shape today. I'm not a precision-nut either.
But my last guess is an 752. It has no battery though.

Nothing else really fits the shape that is in catalog today. And you don't have pictures of it on your website.

May be 4 x 732B to make a 734A full rack?
There are 3 kinds of people in this world, those who can count and those who can not.

Left 732B is not in the sequence.

No, it's not one 732B, not two 732B, not any amount of 732B's :)
Well, maybe it's 30% of 732B, but anyhow it doesn't have this model number.
