Old Fluke Multimeters
linux-works:
its not a fluke, its not a fluke, its not a fluke:
two are ibm and one is heath.
none are flukes.
(LOL)
just got my 2nd IBM in the mail today. super clean condition. why are there IBM branded ones coming on the market that show no use? maybe IBM techs never used them? did they know HOW to? (semi lol)
btw, look at some of the manuf variations. on the diode/beep button, the yellow color 'framing' is off on one of them. on the bottom of the meters (not shown) the serial # stuff is engraved on one and raised on the other! printing follows that on the back; the engraved serial is the engraved model # and static info stuff.
serial #'s are very different. both came from different sellers, too, of course.

On most re-branded Fluke meters, the name "Fluke" appears on the meter, is molded into the back case, and it is molded into the holster as well. This is true for the Matco, UTI, Heath, Lincoln Tech and other meters I've seen.
The Square D brand meter, has no "Fluke" on it at all - the back case just says "made in USA" without "Fluke." Even the old, 70 series square hoster doesn't have Fluke on the back or the front.
It looks like the IBM is similar, but I can't remember if it's on the back of the meter or not. If I recall, the old 80xx don't have Fluke anywhere on the back, so the IBM won't either.

hi, drtaylor and HOLA! all the forum, this is my post #1!...
I congratulate you for your story about the 'history of fluke'. sincerely fluke has my admiration and I used fluke instrumentation for over 40 years and I can only say that it has always been a great satisfaction and a sense of calm and reliability work with fluke equipment ...
's funny what you say about intersil, big manufacturer then. I bought in 1984 which I think is one of the best copies of multimeter fluke. How good is the copy that is still running and calibration over 30 years ... believe me I've used a lot, it's a good system, although false ... they should buy a few integrated to intersil and copied your fluke ...;-)
it is a very goog machine!...
i post some photos that show i want to say.
Best regards from gredos, spain

Definitely going to read this thread in full, but until then if you are still getting rid of some send some my way :-DMM
Oh man just read that your wife threw out all those parts, that's a damn shame, imagine someone building up one of those meters today.
I'm curious, what do you guys mean by NOS?
