| What was your first multimeter or voltmeter? |

The first I bought myself was a Fluke 83 (no suffix). The first I had I can't recall exactly but think it was a Fluke 8020B which I inherited from my father when he died in '87. I used it for a few years in IT then the display went which led to me buying the 83. I think I may have thrown out the 8020B back then which I now regret 30 years later. :-[ I keep hoping I didn't and will eventually find it stashed somewhere around the house as it is likely repairable. I still have and use the 83 but have to give the zebra strip a cleaning periodically when the display starts fading. At some point I'll probably replace the strip. |

My first multimeter was an ICE 680G, which I bought when I was still a kid. It was definitely one of the my first serious investments in electronic gear, which I committed to through only after a friend of mine got it. |

My 1st meter was a £28 Hyelec MS89 from "Banggood". I still have it now and it is as close as damn it when I compare it to my other "proper" meters. I popped a fuse in it a while back which also melted a bit of the trace so I bridged the trace with a small wire and replaced the fuse and it works great again. I know the Chinese stuff is hit and miss but that was defo a "hit" :) |

My first multimeter was the venerable ICE 680R. I bought it circa mid 70's and still have it in perfect working condition. Very good meter indeed! |
