The 8060A was quite an achievement for a 1980s DMM design.? After graduating from college, I worked for RKO Radio in Chicago.? We depended on it for a litany of precision audio measurements.?

?

I’m in the minority, but I prefer manual-ranging DMMs and its one reason I keep the 8060A and one that’s NOS in the box. ?Even the fastest auto-ranging DMMs slow me down when working through a problem.

A while back, I did correspond with Dr. Taylor though EEVBlog. Searching though the same message board is a complete set of instructions for electrolytic cap replacement and a B.O.M.? Today, many 8060A stability issues are a result of failed low WVDC caps.? If anyone would like a copy, let me know.

?

The ultra-high Z tool you mentioned may have been the first implementation in a DMM.? Nice for DC work, but of course, an isolating-tip probe is still needed for many Hi-Z RF measurements.
