Great thread and great interview, loved to hear about those great engineering adventures.
I suppose the spreadsheet on the Apple II you used to do calculation was "Visicalc", been there, done that https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif.

So I bit the bullet and got myself a 8060A from eBay from a seller in Austria. And oh what a score it was - it still has an old calibration "sticker" (it is really more like some print transfer, if I REALLY REALLY wanted I could get it off with elbow grease but as it is not sticky I will let it be, on top of it was a newer sticker that was really sticky and I removed with citrus based sticker residue remover AND it has even a newer 2010 calibration sticker. Someone really loved the meter and took good care of it. Compared it to my 2 years old 87V and it is spot on in 4 and a half digits mode VDC! And it beats the 87V in high frequency AC measurement (measured 100kHz from Der EE DE-5000 LCR meter and 87V was showing already something like 500mV while 8060A displayed 0.6469V that is much closer to what it is on 100/120/1k/10k, on sub 100k modes on the DE-5000 both Fluke meters measure the same test voltage within the spec). I cracked it open just to verify and without removing the inner shield I could just see that it is one of the original types and has an SC77174 chip with 1987 datecode. But take a look at this, it was NOT Made in USA - it was Made in Holland!

My go to DMM is a fluke 8800A I love that meter just got it back from the calibration man and its perfect. I want another one Im always looking on the auction site for a broken on to fix.

Having heard that these meters are Not Too Badâ„¢, I decided to pick a 8024A and a 8060(IBM edition) up on auction. Can't wait to use them!
