Send a note to Shy @ Navatek.com - he has a lot of the old fluke parts,
might have those - do quote the part number 585992!

I have a 9900 pod that I am using for parts (seems to be little interest
in those pods) and could pull that IC/Buffer off if same part number,
but better to get a new one from Shy if he has them. Shy has been a big
help to many Fluke collectors...
