I was surprised how little information there is about the meter available. I downloaded the user manual, but not the service manual. I will give this some more consideration. I can get the instrument for 600 Euros + shipping from Germany, so its not a fortune, but the issue of calibration is concerning me a bit, as is the fact that a few people have sent me emails to say they are noisy and slow. I wanted to make some low-resistance measurements the other week, and was considering getting an Agilent 34420A. I'm wondering if that might be a better investment. Of course, it would be nice to have a 3458A and a 34420A, but that is out of the question due to the cost. > The last corporate owner of the Solartron brand was Ametek, and their > branch in Farnborough did calibrate them up to at least the late > "noughties".
