Hi

Ok, so what you have is the *commercial* version of the URM-32A. Of 
course this is sure to make it *rare* .....

Odd that they would print the cal book on URM-32A stationary.

It seems like we are finding more and more variants of this beast.

The power supply in mine was made by Astrodyne in Miami. The meter 
dates from 1956 and the power supply from 1961. Either the meter left 
the factory running on batteries or somebody did a power supply swap 
out.

Thanks for checking yours out!
