[R-390] HP 8640B

[Cecil Acuff]

Well I have worked on mine myself.  There is a local test equipment Cal Lab 
that has done of the equipment at work from time to time but I contacted 
them recently about running it through the lab to be calibrated and just 
about choked when he told me what it would cost.  Wanted $800.00.  That 
exceeds the current market value of the generator.  Mine works fine and has 
been compared to a couple of recently calibrated devices so it will have to 
stay that way.

They wanted $300 to cal my HP-3400 RMS voltmeter.  It checks close as well.

Not happening!

Cecil..
