Influx of new Fluke 87V's with 2014 manufacturing dates. How come?
StueyB:
So I'm missing my Fluke 87V and happened to see quite a few for sale on an auction site from various unrelated sellers all with 2014 manufacturing dates.
The only genuine reason I can think of is some kind of legislation regarding expiration of inventory after 10 years, perhaps government / industry legislation?
I'm really fancying one but I'm a bit twitchy about the whole thing.
Can anyone elaborate who has an idea why this may occur?

Probably a government agency had a huge stockpile of them and they auctioned them off recently.
Your tax $$$ at work.

Nah, some military guy wrote a new test procedure on how to test coin cell batteries.
In it he specified the multimeter used was a Uni-T UT33+, rendering all the 87V's obsolete.

How do you check the manufacturing date?
