;D The orginal made in California Beckman DMMs were very durable.

I think everybody on here that's old enough still has a 1980s Radio Shack meter that still works.

It would Not be 87V for me because of the shitty display. Beckman puts it in shame.

It wouldn't be the "max" either. The max is a rebadged 28 II and it can't light up LEDs (only 2V diode test voltage).

Have you added in the cost of the batteries and eye strain over that period?
--- End quote ---
Yes the cost of batteries is very high when you use it daily. Yes the eye strain and the frustration of waiting for it to boot up as well as doing the autoranging in resistance measurement. I rarely use the continuilty feature to check for continuity I always use the resistance measurement (I need to know what kind of continuity it is) and it's too slow on autoranging. Bothersome to have to switch to manual ranging. So I avoid using it for my daily task (I let the other guys have that, I use the 87V).
