I need to put the 199 on my eBay watch list. I love these 80's vintage Keithley meters so much. My 195A seems to have the best precision out of all my meters, rivaling even my Tek DMM4020!
The only thing I need to do is replace the banana jacks with safety shrouded versions.
Does anyone have a 192? That's 6.5 digit in some ranges, isn't it?
I call this series of meters the "Brown Breadbox Multimeter". There's just something about those multiplexed seven segment displays, the accuracy, fast update speed, low drift...
Though I have to say, my little 197A might be my favorite. I've got an early 90's vintage one with the GPIB and battery options. Such a compact accurate little meter. (Only issue is the LCDs die over time, along with the backlight. Another forum member reverse engineered the LCD protocol and replaced his with a set of 7-segs driven by an Arduino. I found a graphical OLED that will fit perfectly in the display window, so I may replace mine with one.)
Oh yeah, I picked up a 2000 on eBay for $200, should be here tomorrow. I know it powers on, but beyond that... We'll see!
Hi, I'm timb and I'm a Keithley addict.
