I think any big-brand capacitor today will be better than what was in it originally.

I recently won some old Fluke manuals, for the 8022A and the 8060A. For next-to-nothing. The 8060A also included the quick-guide, a laminated folder, in swedish! 

In the interest of completeness, I'm including a scan of it below.

The manuals are the full manual, with schematics and all. I'll try to publish them too.

Hi to all 8060 fans! I have recently completed restoring and recapping 15 8060A Multimeters. They all work fine. However, I do not have an AC Calibrator that is capable of calibrating the AC function. I've tried to do transfer calibrations using a function generator comparing to some of my higher resolution DMMs. But not ideal. I do not know anyone at Fluke anymore that would help, all my former colleagues have either retired or moved on. I have looked at calibration services in the Seattle area, and to calibrate using a commercial service would cost more than each 8060 is worth. I do have an old Fluke AC Calibrator, but it needs to be restored.

Does anyone within driving distance of Seattle have a calibrator they might allow me to use in exchange for a reasonable sum and/or a signed 8060 as well? If I can't get access to a decent calibrator, I guess the restoration of my Fluke 5200A will have to be my next project. But, if I remember correctly, to calibrate the 5200A requires some exotic equipment too, so I may be screwed.

If you don't need any sort of traceability, you can ship them to me and I'll be happy to set them up.  An 8060A restored and signed by one of its designers would be more than adequate compensation for me.

I don't have anything fancy, but I use a restored 5100B, which is what I believe Fluke would likely have used to calibrate these originally.  I use a 6.5-digit DMM (8846A) as both a parallel reference and to calibrate/verify the 5100B, so the calibration accuracy is limited to that, but that is probably more than adequate for the 8060A.

I've repaired/restored a 5200A and that is not a trivial job.  I'm not sure that all of the items on its calibration equipment list are readily available in good condition anymore and modern alternatives are frighteningly expensive.

The Doktor:

Is there any problem re-capping an 8060 with tantalum caps?
