Ok, here's the update.
I called up and spoke to Van today. On the Display it has a Overload showing, it would respond over GPIB but otherwise dead. he believed it had taken a hit on the front end either voltage or current and blew the front end.
I asked how a meter that left working could take such a hit in the shipping box and said he could not answer that question.
He did tell me it was package very well and there was no sign of any shipping Damage.
This lead me to a new question. Is it possible that it took a bad bump and something got knocked loose on the inside?
He did not think this was possible because of how it was packaged.
I ask if he could check and he asked if I was giving permission to proceed and open the meter up. I said yes to take a look.
A hour or so later I got a email with the attached photo
Well, short story (yes, now I do the short story)
it did take a bad bump in shipping and the ADC board got knocked loose
He replaced it and it now powers up fine and they are letting stay powered to to begin the cal procedure on it.
He's going to secure it for return shipping.
I asked for pre and post call data for it as I want to see how I did on it's comprehensive cal
I believe the total cost is 125 for cal+post data + 25 for pre data so 150 total.
If anyone is interested when I get the Keithley back I'll share the pre/post data here
