Hi !
After seeing a lot of people here getting stuff like keithley 2000 for 30$ dollars on ebay again and again I finally got lucky :D
Look at what I got from local ads.
There is a damaged Fluke 185 for which I'll open a separate restoration thread.
Most importantly, there are three unknown multimeters which are labeled "Fi919Xa". I took them because they look a lot like Brymen 859, do you think they are the same with just the brand changed ? Is this a frequent practice for Brymen ?
I'll post a teardown tonight to investigate further.

Yes. That meter has been sold under many different brands for a long time.

Yes, Brymen is resold under many brand names. Here is a recent example of a Brymen pawn shop score.

You didn't state how much you paid for all 4 meters. Without that information, we can't judge if you scored or not! ;) :-+

Here are the pictures of the inside of one meter. Definitely a Brymen 859. I'm impressed with the build quality, it's the closest to Fluke I've ever seen.

Fair enough, I paid 200 euros for the four meters and three sets of TL175 probes.
