[Test-Equipment] How to get a capacitor standard calibrated/validated/verified?

[Barry]

I contacted a local met lab.  They originally wanted $75 to do this; however, after I explained that this is hobby-related, doesn't need to be NIST traceable, no paperwork, etc., the fellow was nice enough to volunteer to do it for free.  It doesn't get any better than that.

Thanks for the tip!
