Jul 91? Now I feel old.
The instrument is fully analogue, designed in the late 70s. The serial number on the device implies it was manufactured in 87. I contacted the manufacturer and the last person who could service it has long since retired, but they sent me the calibration and tuning documents so I might be able to revive this beauty.
That's actually awesome they sent you anything useful at all.
My brain kept tried to correct it to Jul 19...
I was still in junior school back then.
