[SOLD] UK: Agilent 3458A 8.5 digit DMM [SOLD]
« on: April 01, 2024, 05:33:51 pm »
Edit: Now SOLD


This is not my auction, I have no connection with the seller, just pointing this out for the volt nuts so I don't have to buy it.

£3,750.00 or Best Offer

Quote
This 3458A developed am error: 114 Non-volatile RAM checksum

It appears to work well despite this:-
The pictures show it accurately measuring a 10k ohm resistor
It also measures a (depleted) 9V battery properly too

I'm not certain of it's age, but I think it is 12 years old.  It might be older because a bit of googling suggests the non volatile ram errors usually only appear on instruments older than this.

There are instructions on the net of how to replace the non volatile RAM.

The meter appears to have been opened by the calibration house, it is has not been opened by anyone else.

It sold for £2400. A bit risky with the memory fault & unknown U180 but at least not a stupidly high amount.

Yeh, quite a gamble given the costs can escalate quickly if all is not well.

I can't see the accepted price, just 'best offer accepted'. How did you find the £2400 figure? Or did you buy it!!?

I dunno, I thought my offer of $47.11 was fair given the condition. 😉

Not me. The price shows up on the eBay seller research portal.
