Back in 1995, I was lucky enough to pick up a Fluke 79 that I had for years and years. I got it because I was in the appliance repair business at the time, and it was one of the few meters out there that could actually read the diode out of a microwave oven. Most others did not have a high enough voltage to do that. I had the meter for several years, and last year, I moved into a new house. Within 2 months, both of my vehicles were broken into and everything was stolen, including my Fluke 79. Of course the cops didn't care. It is gone forever.
Recently, I have been getting more and more into electronics, and I soon missed my Fluke more then anything. I would love to have another one, but wow, they are pricey. It was a toss up between dropping a few hundred for a new meter, or using the money on my son's science fair project. Guess who won. If his project isn't disqualified, he is going to kick ass! If he wins this, I think a Fluke anything would be a great reward.
