good enough for me

Paid 50€ second hand a few years ago.

It's a nice unit, just don't pay too much for it since it's getting quite old now compared to other stuff on the market.

They certainly have gotten their design costs out of that thing.

multimeter METEX MS-9170 looks not so bad with it`s 40000 Counts, Bargraph, True RMS and interface, isn`t it?

I had a 9150 some ... 20 years ago ! was a nice unit.
the only thing I did not like was that you have to install a 9v battery for the multimeter to work.
don"t know if the 9170 has that battery too ?
I changed it against hameg modules, part by part, then sold the whole unit on ebay.
