Any chance you could try and repair the Protek?

Take some detailed pictures of the inside and PCBs, I'm sure a few of us (ourselves included) will try and help. Seems like a nice meter and maybe recoverable?

Best,

Yes, open/short calibration was done at each frequency and function (par/ser)  and I tried 100Hz, 1kHz, 10kHz and 100kHz.  The imaginary values were different at each frequency.  The values in my last post were at 1kHz.

I'd offer them $100 to keep it and try and fix it yourself.

I was thinking about it.  It might simply be a bad relay or CMOS switch but the issue I have with that is 2-fold.

First, it might be such a simple thing and the resulting repair might effect the calibration.  With no documentation on it I might not be able to re-adjust it properly.

Second, and this is a little complicated, the pricing does not fit a "For parts or repair" unit.  I had this conversation.  The company I got it from usually gets their equipment from auctions where other companies have either folded or are upgrading their equipment.  If that were the case, they would have adjusted the price for me to $150.  However, this is from a lot that is on consignment and they are not in a position to adjust the price.  :(
