Well its only the 4th and I've already spent too much money on ebay. If you win it, and it doesn't work, look me up.

My 5200A works and is on top of the 5215A that is a monster and then came the 5102B that is not fully functional so no space in my man cave
If anything I'm looking for 5100B stuff. Somebody picked up a Fluke 5100B for $50 on ebay as local pick up only somewhere in North Carolina
I haven't gone to the Junk yard to check the 5200A for parts. Which parts do you need?

Maybe it is stupid but next time you should turn it on and then slowly going up with the AC power voltage by using a TRIAC between the unit and the plug in the wall...
When you are going up with the voltage check where the current is flowing/temperature is going up and which device is not doing his job
Just my 2 cents, I have no experience with the Fluke 5200a but it would be my next step after replacing the fried components once again.

Sorry for bringing this topic up. I have a Stanford Research Systems SR830 lock-in amplifier which just arrives in brand new state. The manual suggests using Fluke 5200A as an AC calibrator to verify SR830's voltage output amplitude accuracy and flatness.

Is there any modern implementation of Fluke 5200A? Is there anything special about this 5200A? Would it be possible to replace this with a signal generator capable of accurate voltage output across the desired frequency range?


Cheers,
Robin.
