From reading some posts from past years,and doing a little online detective work,I discover:
*Tenma 72-1020= Uni-T T-804 (even page 9 in the "Tenma" manual shows the "uni-T" logo on the front face.-they thought nobody'd notice!
*B&K Precision 5491B=Tonghui TH1942
*Keysight 34461a is made in Malaysia
*GW Instek's head office is in Taiwan.
I remember an old episode of The Saint TV Series(1962-1969) "The Master Plan",where Burt Kwouk says : "In time China will subjugate the west.It will take time,but it will happen."
Obviously -it did.
So much for patriotism! lol
Anyway,just considering my options.Since I only need a bench dmm for hobbyist and ham radio,might as well just buy something cheap for now like the Tenma 72-1055,or Uni-T,then upgrade later.
