Another list member needed a Cal Key. I sent him a copy I made from an
original I received from another list member.
Amazingly, it worked. That is a total of four 7081's that have been found
to work with the same Cal Key. Either amazing luck or just any old key you
can fit in the switch will work.
If anyone needs one let me know.

Hi Joe,
Not luck or any old key.
All the 7081's have a common key profile. Quite a common practice.

Robert,
Definitely luck! The original list member ordered a replacement switch with
keys. He tried the key before replacing the switch and found it worked!
When I posted the need for a key, he sent me a spare and offered to sell me
the switch if needed. The key fit my meter perfectly.
He probably still has the switch if anyone wanted it. If anyone needs a
switch, which seems to be common to a lot of the Solartron meters, at least
from the front panel perspective, I bet you could post the request on the
list and find it. I can supply a key.
