that 8500A is also wake up. In the Option Card Calibration Memory was both batteries empty. = Errors. bec. it is a option I have removed the card an the 8500A starts working. batteries required, ebay its not a true 6 1/2 digits, or there is a trick to use that full, or its required the cal memory card for using 6 1/2 Martin |

And yes, it's a Schrödinger-ian frequency >:D --- End quote --- No, wasn't me. But I once had a 8060, whose sad demise I described somewhere here. And the softcase is still around (I think it must be right along with the ugly discarded yellow holster for the 87, which I replaced with the grey one). And the counter is not available, but still uncalibrated. I have a new OCXO (10811), now I have to find the UNC screws, because I'm not willing to order a whole pack. That said, the holster is a giveaway when I call about the calibration. |

BTW, I don't think the 8060 was made in'81. My 'datecode' is '66 and I was 16 when I bought mine. It was newly out, with a large feature about it in the 'Elektronik', then the German lead periodical on professional electronics. I remember the Fluke advertising, which did show a guy in a labcoat riding a scooter with a lot of T&M gear strapped on (which the 8060 was supposed to replace). They prominently reused it in the 'Elektronik' (with Fluke Co.'s permission, I think) for a title page discussing (for the first time) the topic of engineering temp jobs and -agencies. I also remember vividly how my grumpy boss of those years (an Ingenieurbuero, where I worked during my holidays and after school) told me to buy a large analogue meter with FETs (Unigor 6e), because on that digital things you can't observe changing values. The measurement rate of the 8060 made him look twice and muttering a 'maybe, could work'. |

I was just looking on the PCB date, it may be a bit younger, but still unvelivable precise. Cheers, DC1MC |

Neomys, I suspect you mean 8600 - the 8060 is newer than the 8020, which was designed by the original poster of this thread. |
