EEVblog 121GW Multimeter Issues
DylanW:
Hi all,
I went to replace the batteries in my 131GW and discovered that two had leaked, badly corroding the terminals. I was wondering if there was a source I could purchase some replacement terminals from?
The serial number is 171202952 if that helps.
Cheers!

Hey all,
I have an early 1.21GW with software version v2.05 (haven't checked if there's an update yet :p)
I also have a 2 year old fluke 115. I tried to measure some CT Coils with built in burden resistor, to check its resistance. This is where things got funny (due to my lack of understanding). I would have expected to get the value of the copper windings, in parallel to the resistor. Not sure _what_ I'm getting though; as I see a about 8 or 9 ohms, that are constantly changing on the display (walking up, walking down) over 1 or 2 ohms or so on the 1.121 whereas the fluke (with much less digits mind you) was showing something like 20 ohms. Pretty big difference I would think. Could this be caused by _how_ things are measured? Is the coil of influence? I can imagine that the fact that we are measuring ferrite wound coils, an inductor in fact, could throw things off as the inductor 'buffers' energy, and releases it again?

Hi Dave!
Mine has the "cracked plug" problem as well. Serial starts with 1808071__
I would be happy to know which replacement part I could source and where (I'm in the EU).
Thank you!
BR, Hendrik

My 121GW does generate a few changing voltages during resistance auto-ranging. I think it was 0.2V, 1V and 2V at least. But otherwise it's pretty stable once in a specific range as best I could tell on my scope without spending too much time to block out noise.
I wonder if the coil is picking up some EMI? Can you shield it to see if the behavior changes?

🥺 Dave? Or anyone else who knows which part to source?
