• I've just discovered the discontinued Fluke 185/183. There seem to be very few around these days. When they do come up on eBay, they sell for a pittance. If anybody has one of them, some comments from an owner's perspective would be interesting. On paper at least, it has some decent features and should command a higher price on the second-hand market.

• Here is a TX3 for sale. I think the price is a bit steep, but they are as rare as hen's teeth:
