--- Quote from: Illusionist on October 03, 2019, 05:56:34 pm ---I got an Agilent 34410A two days ago, and just got chance to get inside and check it out. Cost £360 all-in from eBay, and was due for recalibration in Jan ..... snip That fan though... it almost drowns out the vacuum cleaner! Well, it did. It now has a 100Ω resistor inline with it and is much quieter. My lab (repurposed bedroom) is kept quite cool so I doubt it's an issue. I might still change it out for a 15mm thick Sunon maglev though, and run that slower too. Anyway, I'm chuffed to bits as they say, and here are some pictures: --- End quote --- Not all 34401A's had fans or even case ventilation. My late Agilent era has neither and is more stable as well as I can determine than my 34461A by a few PPM over a 10C temperatrure swing. Do some searching as I never have re fan or no fan? Today's unneeded plaything is a Gertsch Decade Ratio Transformer. No particular use for it other than it will be a fun toy for the collection. I was watching it and the seller put out a reduced price offer and it had very low freight costs from the USA to Oz so I obliged ;D Will fit in with my Valhalla 2703 AC Cal. and 2500EP Current Amp. (when I get it repaired) but other than that just for fun. |

beanflying, it seems you fell for the classic switcharoo of the HP/Agilent number system. 34410A not 34401A. :) |

oops I blame a lack of coffee :-DD and HP for dyslexic numbering :horse: |

Picked this up about 2 years ago for $100 as a parts unit. Works perfectly fine AFAIK. |

(Attachment Link) --- End quote --- Didn't know that one before. Even without 4-wire connection, a Milliohmmeter (or microohm-meter) from a serious western manufacturer for 100.- is a laudable find. |
