Yep, bang on there, even now the last digit changing about can be a distraction at times, imagine if you had 2 or 3 changing [emoji48]

Time to get back to TEA this accurate bending and soldering of wire is doing me in  :scared:

I remember now why my 8x8x8 kit is still in kit form  :-DD

You have more patience than me with that LED cube :)

Getting seriously annoyed. Won that Heathkit AC VM 7 days ago and it was send via Hermes on Monday which to be honest was very late by the seller. Tracking is stuck at "We're expecting your parcel" since then. FFS. £2 more and it would have been here on Tuesday with UPS but cheap fuckers will only deal with Hermes for some crazy reason.

I know that feeling, I've sat looking at similar screens many times myself. Sometimes though it doesn't get updated at all. I'd check with Hermes just to make sure that it is correct. Then I'd be creating hell with the seller, tell him you needed it by a certain date and now it's to late, threaten to open a dispute via Ebay, if nothing else you might get a refund.

Now that you've got the 3478A where you want it I would advise you to buy a 2nd AD584. Why? As a cross check. If something starts drifting you'll know right away which device is going south. That's what I've done here. And I document the results. My most accurate DMM is a Fluke 8800A. Here's the chart of how it compares to each AD584. I'll know right away if there's an issue.

1st AD584      8800A

2.50066         2.5007
4.99794         4.9979
7.50011         7.5002
9.99691         9.9970

2nd AD584     8800A

2.49937         2.4994
5.00030         5.0003
7.50042         7.5004
10.00096       10.0010
