In an effort to get it 'calibrated', I chased down the US branch of AMETEK, the company that now apparently owns Solartron.  I shipped my meter to them yesterday and they will ship it to England for calibration, repair and alignment, as needed.  The 7081 ceased production in

She said the 7061 is still on the list of supported equipment.  So, worst case scenario, you could contact AMETEK and see what options might exist for your 7061.

> More like 200 mV if I remember it right. I know it is a resitive divider but the influence on each other is getting worse if it is on 24/7,  another sign something is wrong. The 1V influences akso the 10 V so you keep it adjusting. If i set 10 V correct and then the 1 V's the 10 V is off again.
