a 7-position mechanical switch,
Is it an interesting looking one or just a modern standard one? Photo?

A fairly decent looking 1082 with error 6. I'm betting it's the 2/4 wire switch issue but willing to fix it either way. Probably overpaid a bit at $325 but now I'll have 1062, 1072, 1082. Worth it just for the stack.

I just made an semi-impulsive buy here: a Myir Z-turn board with Zynq 7020 plus a breakout board. It would be curious to see some homebrew hardware share a chip with a proper ARM core running full blown Ubuntu Linux.

I also intend to mod the board once I received it, hopefully with 512Mbit NOR Flash.

I restored one of those for someone about 15 years ago and wrote a Windows GUI for it. It needed Intel HEX via RS232. Very cool, but incredibly slow.

Does anyone out here have the original software for the Stag PP28 programmer?
I have one saved from the skip years ago, it has been unused since...

My 1082 came in today. Accuracy is better than the display for sure. That number is accurate.

Edit: It's all warmed up now, mostly sits at 0.00000 to -0.00004 so this is actually an outlier.

One more edit, I bought 16 LM309K's. Mostly gold but 2 steel as well. At $4 a piece I figured why not.

Couldn't find any info on it, and it said Fluke, so I obviously had to buy it.
I guess its just a signal generator they built to easily demo their frequency counters.

Sold my old one 1xPA8700@550Mhz gean and bought a new PA-RISC workstation 1xPA8700@750Mhz.
It's what I daily use for everything, so more Mhz makes the difference.

...

Beautiful  :clap:

I'd suggest that you contact Fluke to see if they are willing to provide any information. Guess that trying the phone number in the sticker is out of the question by now.  ::)

Seems that your photos could be a rarity to be found on the web, so... can we expect any "take it apart" in the mean time.
If any intervention was done over the years, some caps are gone by now. But if you intend to restore it, please take some photos before doing anything, just for history record purpose.
Glad you grab that piece of gear.  :-+

Just a guess but it does have 'Counter Demo Aid' on the bottom of the Fascia. I would think it is just that made to demonstrate and sell other gear. Occasionally Badged gear turns up as an unknown and some of that was used for internal production and testing.

Always cool to see internal/demo equipment. I also vote for more pics and teardown in its own thread. :-+

A ball point+capacitive touch pen+ruler (1cm/div, 0.5cm/div, 0.33cm/div and 1"/div)+level combo from a sales rep. Pretty good building quality, full anodized aluminum body.



What is the internal cartridge

I don't know. It seems it's not designed to b refillable.
BTW, while I was trying to open it, I discovered it also has a flat+phillips screw driver set in it.

I'll take it back. It's refillable, with a 2.75" metal refill.

Is it a promo gift from Keysight?

Though they might look alike, I doubt that the build construction and materials of the Aliexpress pen has any similarity with the Keysight gift pen

It's like Rotring and Redcircle

Looks like a Monteverde Tool Pen.

The ballpoint pen version has got the level, there is also a pencil version that doesn't.

Look more useful than they are, however. At least if you're actually looking for something to write with ;D.

I picked up a HP 5316B Universal counter off of Ebay.  Made an offer.
It comes with an original printed manual.  We'll see how it goes after it gets here.  Check caps and make a OCXO for it.

Bought a HP4440B decade capacitor from eBay, 40pf-1.2uF:



The construction looks very nice:



Double shielded: The outer case and then inside an aluminium box. Works without problems. Accuracy much better than the usual 10% you get from normal capacitors. It was worth the $200, I could already use it to fine-tune a Qi receiver.

They are a nice bit of gear toward a reasonable Calibration Box for some general purpose LCR meters. I stripped and cleaned mine as it had a bit dirtier face than yours here https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/hewlett-packard-4440b-decade-capacitor/msg1376042/#msg1376042
