hey Dave Taylor (if you're reading or see this)... you told me I needed to recap my 8060A, as I do plan to pass it onto my son...
I must lead a charmed life... 8060A (original owner) purchased new, in 1984 - used exclusively in my studio for cal, db and repairs... god bless audio-head meter engineers like yourself...
Meter specifics:
30-84 date code on the MAC @ U3...
serial number 3890330...
pcb revision H on the silkscreen... H-1 brown-tagged on the board...
also, C28, 10uF - is NOT populated on this board (per the later component list and schematic)...
Knowing that I needed to re-cap it, just because - I popped open the meter tonight (after ordering the parts) to see how many caps have let loose (assuming time did the inevitable) - and I'll be darned... not a single cap has leaked... still looks like a virgin... how weird...
In 35 years, this meter has never even looked at me funny... impressive... heck of a job...
btw, if you want to measure a set of intact 35 year old caps to see how much they've wandered (as these haven't imploded)... send me a pm and I'll send 'em to you...
you the man, Dave... Thanks...
