Second the above!

Thought I would share some pictures of my new "old" meter..  I purchased it from a local estate sale for $5.  Fluke 8060A in unused condition.  Absolutely mint in box with case.  So far, I put a fresh battery in it, and tested all functions, and everything is spot on.  It's really surprising how accurate these can be after all of these years.  I haven't opened it up yet to check the caps, but with it working perfect, I will probably wait a bit until I replace them.  I was going to sell it and use the funds to buy a brand new meter... because "newer" is ALWAYS better, right?  Then I found this thread, and found out how good of a meter this really is.  Needless to say, I've fallen in love with it, and really feel bad I even had a thought of selling it to buy something "newer"...  Enjoy the pictures!

While the outside is in mint condition, I wouldn't assume the insides are the same.  I urge you to take it out and closely examine the bottom of the capacitors which is where they leak in these 8060As.  They could have already leaked if the meter was stored in a hot environment (attic with window, sunny year round weather, 45+C in Arizona, etc).

They don't make such beautiful multimeters anymore! You are very lucky!
I am going to look out for this model as well from now on! :)
