³Ò²¹²Ô²µ¡­.

the subject line says it all.

My go to bench multimeter hasn¡¯t been calibrated since I purchased it new 15 years ago.

During that time, it has worked perfectly. Still does¡­

however the display has gotten so dim, it¡¯s hard to see. The display needs replaced

so, anyone know of a place that will replace the display and calibrate this meter?

Thanks..

Mike,

As in all things it depends on how much you want to spend. Keysight still supports the 34401A - unit exchange is $768 and I believe that includes calibration. Calibration is also still available at about $230ish.
I ordered the display PCA from Keysight and replaced it easily enough. There are also aftermarket suppliers offering them on eBay but I went with Keysight as I needed some other parts as well.
Mine still compares close enough with my 3458A so I passed on calibration for now.

What is the recommended calibration schedule for wives?

I thought they were primary standards.

You young whippersnappers, we are coming up on 40. The proper calibration interval is once per year on the acquisition date. Of course operational verifications can be done anytime.?
