I'm currently working on a Fluke 8840a using a freely available manual. I wanted something better so I ordered manuals for the 8840a & 8842a from the Artek website (for download) last wednesday morning (May 17). Didn't receive a link, so called next day, no reply. e-mailed Saturday, still no reply. So I searched this forum and found sad news https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/tektronix-5111-(non-a)-manual/ (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/tektronix-5111-(non-a)-manual/). :(
Has anyone got the Artek manual for the 8840a (and maybe 8842a) that they could send me?
Thanks
Ed

They are reportedly fulfilling CDROM orders on fleabay, e.g.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=Fluke+8840+manual+&_sacat=0&_fss=1&_saslop=1&_sasl=artekmedia&LH_SpecificSeller=1 (https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=Fluke+8840+manual+&_sacat=0&_fss=1&_saslop=1&_sasl=artekmedia&LH_SpecificSeller=1)

I just ordered and received a manual on CD from Artek on their website. Arrived in 5 days in US.

Thank you to all responders, both in this thread and in private messages. I now have a better copy of the manual for the 8840a than what I did before, and based on replies here plus what I've read in another form, I ordered the two CDs from Artek through their Ebay listing. I will post back in this thread again in a week or so to report whether or not the CDs were successfully received.

This may be of help too, I have a very nice manual for the 8842A but it is 13MB, and the 8840A is 26MB and a few other files, if you need it I can dump it on my site.

I would appreciate that. I like to have as many manual variations as possible, never know when 1 of them will cover some small (or large) revisions the others don't.

Both manuals can be downloaded from fluke.com - good quality PDFs, no registration or fooling around required.

The Artek Manuel's I ordered through eBay arrived okay. I contacted the seller through eBay and asked about my purchases on the website, she said her husband never trained her on that, but she is filling orders from eBay.
If any of you frequent other electronics forums, you should probably post letting people know not to purchase Artek manuals through their website, you will not receive the order. Purchase them from eBay instead. If they list a manual on their website and are not selling it on eBay, I would contact them through the contact seller form, and ask if they can List It. I was not advised to do that, but it seems like a reasonable approach.
I did not get a refund for the manuals purchase through the website, but don't plan to pursue it. I'm just happy the wife is continuing to sell their manuals, and do not want to add to her stress level.
