I am an electrical engineering student, and I tinker around with microcontrollers and I have a few projects going on, and after watching Dave's videos I have the compulsion to buy equipment. On craigslist in my area I found a fluke scopemeter 99b series 2 for sale. The guy wanted 300 but I offered 225 and he accepted and gave me his cell phone number. I was wanting to go out on Sunday and see it and most likely buy it, then I became terrified when I realized I have no idea really about what I'm buying and realized I need some knowledgeable advice.
I currently only have a 30 dollar sears el' cheapo multimeter and I had my eye on a fluke 87 V because I want a "real" multimeter, and I figured with a fluke scopemeter, even if it is old, I would be getting a reliable fluke multimeter at least as good as an 87V with logging capabilities with an oscope to boot.
Buy, don't buy, what questions to ask when I get to the guys house, what to check on the meter, bad price, good price?
Thanks so much in advance to anyone taking the time to answer.
P.S. He said it was calibrated in March. Should I ask for documentation?
