Giving away 4 'Weston Cell' voltage references
Added 2018-12-17 20:42:34 +0000 UTCwhich have been kept still and at 30°C +/-0.1 for months PLUS measurement results from my best voltmeters. Applications in the comments please, most hearts next Sunday win!
I want to make some room in this 'oven' for more modern voltage references and maybe other stuff. The weston cells will have to settle down at ideally 30°C after turbulent shipping, but they don't take lasting damage from overturning etc.
Here's a tour of that mystery metrology oven if you haven't seen it already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXc1EvcVOTo

so now even the giveaway (did I say thank you!) found its new home in Sweden. Not temperature regulated (yet?) but protected from the elements... <a href="https://imgur.com/1mBLbcw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://imgur.com/1mBLbcw</a> <a href="https://imgur.com/x3Gt3Ir" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://imgur.com/x3Gt3Ir</a>

2019-01-07 13:33:16 +0000 UTCI love the look, the technology and probably the smell of this kit. And I do have an uncalibrated 34401A for which this would come in handy. But I am afraid it is too large for me to keep. If I win it, I will use it and then give it away to the next in line.

2018-12-18 18:12:10 +0000 UTCThis would be an interesting addition to my vacuum tube collection, or a display piece.

2018-12-18 02:24:05 +0000 UTCIt sure measures up well against other addictions...

2018-12-17 23:58:56 +0000 UTCso that's how they look on the inside! I have one in a bakelite housing in my office...

2018-12-17 23:32:02 +0000 UTCWell I guess a good home would be the north west coast of Alaska, 30 miles above the Arctic Circle would make a wonderful home! ;)

2018-12-17 22:42:01 +0000 UTCI have a sad and lonely Eppley cell that needs some company - and someone to calibrate with! <a href="https://bit.ly/2QzJn1k" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/2QzJn1k</a>

2018-12-17 22:37:32 +0000 UTCIt is not my intention to get people into the metrology addiction, but it certainly is one of the coolest addictions to have :)

2018-12-17 22:36:45 +0000 UTCMaybe it'd be fun to create an smaller enclosure that keeps one at at exactly 30°C (bonus points if better than +/- 0.1°C, bonus points if it also keeps out vibrations)

2018-12-17 22:34:05 +0000 UTClooks like too much trouble for a hobbiest! And what would I calibrate? Would look awesomely nerdy in the shop!

2018-12-17 21:31:42 +0000 UTCI wish that I even had something that would be worth calibrating... Not that I'd have a use for that...

2018-12-17 21:00:55 +0000 UTCLooks like these things might go well with tesla coils, but in reality they very much do not :)

2018-12-17 20:58:01 +0000 UTCIt seems like mad scientist inspired stuff.
