Re: [Amateur-repairs] Calibrating test equipment?

For frequency I use two GPS disciplined oscillators.
 
I bought have some HP Tek and Fluke equipment when our work lab closed down. It was calibrated in 1990 by NIST traceable labs. I also have modern test equipment.
 
If a measurement is questionable I compare readings on various pieces of equipment.

How do folks assure the accuracy of their test equipment? DVM, VTVM, oscilloscope could all use a good voltage standard. Signal generator and oscilloscope need frequency standards.  More obscure stuff like IC testers, LC meters, etc also need verification or calibration.   In my case I have stuff spanning 50 yrs and manufacturers from around the world. How do you decide what you can trust and what needs repair/replacement?
