Fluke 8050A calibration

They are not adjustable.  Well the combination is adjustable in 9V increments.  To get 200 Volts one needs about 22 of them.  I think they cost around $3 so that makes the source a bit pricey.

I have planty of sources of voltage in that range anyway.  If there is one thing I have plenty of, it's power supplies.

Here's 40 of them for under $20, shipped from the USA:  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32324041879.html

The calibration procedure was made to be standard , but if you know what are you doing any voltage close enough in that range  is good when you have another calibrated voltmeter .

Maybe tons of 9v cells from a dollar store ??

Yep. If you have a second meter with better precision than the one you're calibrating then there's absolutely no need to generate a precision voltage, just a voltage somewhere near the top of the range being calibrated. The OP says he has a 6.5 digit HP 3456A, that's easily good enough to lick a Fluke 8050A into shape.

The only important thing is to calibrate somewhere near the top of the range being calibrated. In theory you can calibrate a 20V range with a 1.5V battery but I'd be much happier working with 18V from two 9V batteries. It will be much easier to do and the error will be 12x smaller (18/1.5=12).
