Re: [volt-nuts] Current Button for Datron calibrator (4800, 4805, 4807, 4808)
Hi David,
I already checked with John Pickering, and he does not have anything for
the 480x series. He suggested contacting the Fluke service center there in
the UK. Fluke bought Datron/Wavetek, and they inherited all of the
manuals, parts, and IP. IIRC, the UK Fluke service center IS the old
Datron factory/service department. John said that that service center has
ONE "golden" manual set for the 480x services calibrators-- but it is in
paper format. I suspect that they don't have the bandwidth to convert that
into a nice PDF, or they would have done that already. You might get in
touch with them, to see if some kind of deal can be struck-- where you
agree to scan the manuals and make a PDF for them (if they give you
access). It might be a thing where you would have to bring your laptop and
scanner to their office (so the paper manuals never leave). If you DO get
the opportunity to make this happen-- please upload it for the rest of us
to use!
As for the parts-- again, maybe the Fluke service center has some parts in
a dusty old box somewhere that might have what you need. You might want to
get to know them-- perhaps some premium beer (or ale) at the local pub will
help ... ?
Cheers,
Ken

I'm on the lookout for a button for a Datron 4800 series calibrator which
may be a bit of a long shot.
It's the one between the Ω and AC buttons with the Legend "I" (uppercase
i).
An even longer shot - my front panel is a bit bashed - has anyone got one
spare?
You never know someone may have a spares mule!
Also (Ho! Ho!) does anyone know the whereabouts of a complete Operator
manual (with the Verification and Calibration sections), and the Service
Manual for a 4808?
Thanks
Dave

Thank you for contacting Mr Datron! I've emailed the Fluke service centre, though whether the new Danaher managed organisation will be prepared to help is an open question.
I believe that I know the location of a manual set for the 4808 with a co-located A3 scanner.
What I don't know is how complete those manuals are.
Cheers
Dave

Last time I dealt with the Fluke Service center in the US, they had a minimum order of $300.

On all items Wavetek I think you best option is Dave at Low Thermal in Tx. I know at one point he was making replacement front panels for the 480X series. If anyone has parts and manuals it would be Dave.
