Ultimately, it it worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Stick it on eBay and see what it fetches. Not knowing its specs is likely to devalue it quite a bit. It's probably not too useful as a 5

I would argue you need to do this if you want better than 10-15%, not 5%. Also remember the Bird is (or at at least was) rated at +/- 5% of FSD. So if you are measuring at the half scale, Bird would

Technically you would need to define confidence. Is being 10% certain the result is within +/- 10% OK for you? Do you need to be 50% confident it is within 10%? Do you need to be 90% confident it is

Bird might well have calorimeters, but I very doubt they would use them routinely for calibrating meters. I suspect they use a Marconi/HP/Agilent/Boonton power meter and attenuator to routinely do it
