Hi Mark,

Yes, I read about the Mod regarding the Noise on the Power Rails for the 8008.
I will do that shortly and then re-test, but I thought it important to test the
Device out of the Box first.

Yes, all 3 together were expensive, but it's been many years since I invested
in any Test Equipment and the Total was a lot less than half the normal retail price. They are NOS, so out of Cal.
As I mentioned, I will put the 287 in for Cal and use it as my Bench Standard.

Now at least, I can start on my Constant Current Standard Project and have a reasonable chance of getting it right.
In addition, it's time to re-visit the AVO Meter collection.
I still love to use these Works of Art where possible.

Ian
