Just show her this thread :) I think the number of people happy that you got them, and that are interested in helping you get "returns on your investment" will make her happy for you :)

So I will have a little treasure trove of 8060s. I will fix them with new caps, and start selling them. I might have enough original User Guides for them too (signed if you want). Great first retirement project. Hopefully I can get my buying price back and a little extra. The other 3 1/2 digit devices I'll keep for parts unless they are really clean and in good shape.
I'm kind of mad at my self for this impulse buy. I hope my wife doesn't kill me. I really didn't think the seller would accept my offer. Anyway give me a few weeks and I'll get them refurb'd and cleaned up. However, I do not have a precision AC Calibrator, so other than comparison with my more recently calibrated DMMs, I have no way to trim the AC at frequencies. I have a friend at Fluke that might let me come in and use a high end calibrator.
I'm planning a trip to Europe in Fall or maybe spring, not sure yet. I'm thinking "gift" 8060s might be traded for lodging or tour guides or ???

Hat's off to you :) and the best of luck with these, a very deserved path for them before being put to good use again. :-+
Keep just one back for free lodgings just out of Auckland if you ever venture to NZ.

My 8050 needs an 8060 to go with it :)

Count me in if you want to come to Spain (with or without meter). Valencia in March is the place to be.

A question for Mr. Taylor: do you know why some 8800A bench meters have 2no. AA batts for the Ohms ranges pls ?
