A small sum? The two-manual set goes for over $200 on eBay, if one shows up at all. I have both manuals for my 4275A, but don't yet have any manuals for my 4274A. I just lost the bidding on a 4274A service manual because I stopped at $125. See what I mean?
I haven't found anyone selling a CD of these manuals. The 4275A manuals are bound in such a way that copying them would damage the spine, so I'm reluctant to lend them out for that purpose.

Hi, Wayne. You can get your operating manual tomorrow for $40 USD plus shipping from Manuals Plus. I've dealt with them several times, and found them to be very helpful.
Speaking from some experience, the time and effort to either try to figger out an instrument like this or scrounge the manual are never worth it. Better just to buy it. Manuals are irreplaceable for using complex instruments well.
It's a good meter. By the way, HP didn't make this one themselves. I don't believe HP/Agilent has provided any significant support for this meter for at least 5 years. If you're looking for the manual because you're considering buying, caveat emptor.
Good luck Chris
I once saw a copier designed to copy books. It was in a library, so I suppose copies were covered by "fair use" or something. The glass went right to the edge of the copier, so you didn't have to open the book more than 90 degrees, making it really easy on the spine. I have no idea where you'd get one, or if there are scanners like that - if you took the whole manual to the library, it'd only cost about fifteen cents a page, or maybe more nowadays.
Good Luck! Rich

Caveat emptor because they tend to go bad? Are they worse than any other old test equipment?
Point of reference...
4274 and 4275 are both Multi-frequency LCR meters for anyone else who was curious.Have something to add? Share your thoughts — no account required.
