One last thing to add to the thread. The parts had drifted  about 12%.  In
addition, the older instruments have 100ohm source impedance. In order to
measure these we need an instrument with 30ohm source impedance. I can't
explain why this is the case but the higher source impedance did not give
accurate values.
