I have a 2,500 watt, HF slug that I don't have confidence in. Anyone
know who calibrates slugs for a reasonable fee?

Thanks.

Have you contacted Bird? Last I heard, they were still making equipment.
As to "reasonable" - thats a good question. But then at least you would
know it is "accurate".

Yes, Bird is still in business and, no (IMHO), they are not reasonable...


As you seen, I questioned "reasonable". I guess a good question may be - ARE
they the only game in town to do such calibrations? There are a few places
who do "Service Monitor" calibrations and such. I wonder if "they"
would/could do them?

Now, I too am interested to see if anyone has any knowledge of doing such
thing - the procedure, equipment used, etc. IF it is something I can do with
my own - then by all means, I'll do it. I've got a decently equipped bench.
