Hi everyone,
I am looking at buying a second hand FLUKE 45. I am sourcing it locally since here in Spain, shipping on anything heavy from america will cost +100$ and potencially another +20% VAT if it gets caught entering the country.
I found one (first brand bench multimeter ever on spanish internet probably) being sold at 170$, here is the link:
http://www.milanuncios.com/radioaficionados/multimetro-profesional-fluke-45-161111067.htm.
(Pictures from the ad attached, not sure how to make them appear here
)
The screen appears to be broken (no sure how worried I should be about that), but more importantly it is missing the plug + fuse to measure mA (That's what the text says, but there seems to be some piece there judging from the picture of the guts, maybe a little screw-in plastic cap). I have searched the internet for that piece and it doesn't seem to even exist, maybe I'm not searching right.
Based on this, there are three questions I have:
1. What would be an appropriate price, considering both the screen and the fuse holder? 100$?
2. Could anyone who owns a Fluke 45 post detailed pictures and dimensions of the fuse holder plug piece, fuse and connections? I'd like to try and 3D print it or bodge some banana plug and fuse in.
3. What tests should I perform, since this meter has no self-test capability?
Last minute doubts here, meeting the seller tomorrow to check it out
Thanks in advance for any help,
Ronald
