I mostly use the U1241A but switching to measure voltage is annoying when it's defaulting to measure ACV.

I own U1242B which I believe very similar to U1241A, just read the manual, you can set the voltage defaulting to DCV.  ;)

My good old trusty Fluke from way back.  I used the original probes on them until last week.  I finally bent one and replaced them with Pomona probes.  I used to use this at one of my first engineering jobs.  I don't quite remember all of the details why someone wrote that on the meter, but I'm certain I earned that name.

It was easy to bring into calibration but I've not yet plumbed the extremes.
Fortunately calibrating/adjusting these doesn't usually involve accurate 10 fA current sources or 100 Tohm resistors.

The lowest full scale ammeter reads 10 pA, but with the 0.001 multiplier, yes, it goes down to 10 fA full scale. That's 100 aA resolution, in theory anyway.
Or about 600 electrons/s ;). Measuring that is more like experimental physics than electronics, though.

There's a lot of interesting theory wrapped up in these old instruments, so I do hope that Dave gets his hands on some and does a "Teardown Tuesday/Fundamental Friday" on it when he's worked through his current repair backlog!
Agreed.

No, I don't own any Flukes, all my DMM's are Chinese/Taiwanese made. I have so many simply because I'm both a hobbyist and a seller, and that gives me a very good excuse to spend money on DMM's I don't need but "might" be interesting to have a look at  >:D

The ones that are not in the picture include those at home (Brymen 867 and 257, and a couple other Digiteks), an HP3457A bench meter, and a few others that I rarely even touch anymore, hence not worth the bench space and have been put away.

Franky, what about a review of the UT139C, while your better half is on holiday and you're bored at home?  ;)

LOL! I can't believe you guys crossed path half a globe away!!

Anyway, yes, I will post some internal pics of the UT139C and some comments in the next couple of days.

Show us your meter collections. Bench or handheld. If this has been posted already I'm sorry because I tryed to search. I have a meter sickness as I am sure all of us do. So let's see it!

No Pictures I'm afraid, but i picked up an awesome eBay deal for a brand new fluke 87v for £101.91, still boxed and unused.  I was a little suspicious so i even tore it down and compared it to a teardown Dave done. 

Im hunting the forums for an o-scope and a few other bits to get me moving forward

Well.. just got brand spanking new agilent U1273AX to replace my now dead SOAR 4050B. Then I got a rebranded batronix 280 thay I never really got to like (super slow in aspect compred to my old SOAR and my new Agilent.

In this post, from the "Old Fluke Multimeters" thread:

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/old-fluke-multimeters/msg326405/#msg326405

Jay_Diddy_B shows an 8022a/AF.   As many know, I like collecting the various versions of these meters.  I thought I'd share a picture of my 8020B/AG.

Is there someplace that has a nice history of fluke dmms and info? Like an online museum or so?

I've been wondering that myself. We could just start one on the wiki maybe.

I have a ton for pics. And my best friend has possibly one of every one ever made by fluke. I have more 80xx ones than he does tho! Lol

Tell me how your Agilent is. I might be getting a new DMM soon.
I'm not saying we should kill all stupid people. I'm just saying that we should remove all product safety labels and let natural selection do its work.
