Another important consideration will be the onboard battery BT501.
See if you can determine its age.

If the 'SELF TEST OK' message appears, there is no need to make any

Re: 3457a on the way
What do you use as a "House CAL" that is almost good enough for the
8.5 digit 3458A?
That's a seriously accurate (and seriously expensive), multi-meter.
