Lab Cleaning: RFL 829M Calibrator

I need to make room in the lab and have decided to part with my RFL*
829M AC/DC calibrator.  It's designed for calibrating 4 1/2 digit meters
and has a voltage range from 2mv to 1100V DC and AC from 50 Hz to 20
kHz.  The current range is 20uA to 1.99999 amps and the resistance range
is 10 to 10M ohms.

It's in very good condition and I had it calibrated in 2008 (what's a
decade among friends?).  It includes the original maintenance/operating
manual.

Photo attached.  I have no idea what this is worth, so I'm open to
offers.  Shipping cost from 45409 won't be trivial -- it's 19 x 8.75
(5U) by 15.5 inches and weighs 45 pounds.

Thanks,
John

  • I don't know much about "Dowty RFL Industries, Inc." but am told that
    they are well known in the utility and transportation industries.  The
    company seems to still be around though I didn't find calibrators on
    their web site.

FWIW,

I scanned the 829M manual.    (I ended up with the device. - My thanks
to John again.)

It should eventually show up on http://bama.edebris.com, and
http://www.ko4bb.com/getsimple/index.php?id=manuals, once the
respective site owners get around to processing their upload queues.
If anyone needs it sooner, please feel free to holler, and I'll put it
up "somewhere else".  (Is 26MB, and really too big to e-mail.)
