I recently acquired for cheap an old HP 740A DC standard/voltmeter of 1960s vintage. It seems to be pretty clean inside and complete except for missing a small bias cell. I'm trying to find a manual - found the "B" version one so far at hparchive.

Before putting in much effort to fire it up, does anyone have opinions on whether it's worth keeping and fixing - does it have decent performance by today's standards, so to speak? There's a sticker inside that showed that (sometime in the 1960s) the reference deviation was no more than +/- 5 ppm recorded over a four week period, under some kind of test conditions.
