Old Fluke Multimeters
vindoline:
Congratulations on your retirement! :-+
Would love to see the document on "hidden features" when you have a chance.
frozenfrogz:
I’d also like to offer my help with translating german documents to english.
In the last month, I got my hands on three meters in beautiful condition that got added to the 'collection': 8020B, 8060A and 8050A.
The 8060A needed a little love, but now all three agree and work perfectly.

Hey babysitter and frozenfrogz. Thanks for the offer, but I believe the articles I have in German were just translations of the US articles. Once I post them you can do a comparison and see if any of it is worth translating.
I'll post the hidden features writeup early next week. Some of these are well known already, but this writeup summarizes them nicely.
Electro Detective:
I have a lazy owner question re my late 90s mint Fluke 8060A, still kicking and up to spec 20+ years later :-+
If the caps are slightly leaking at the bottom with no signs of visible invasive creeping corrosion yet, would it be worth giving that bottom area a few forced shots of canned isopropyl alcohol to wash out the area and put off the cap change hangman for another day?
i.e. even though the caps may go south gradually, will the meter's spec still be ok, as it has been after a hose off?
Will the meter need calibration after a careful capacitor change with same values?
Is it mission critical to use replacement capacitors of same type with standard temp 85?
or upgrade with 105 degrees, Low ESR, No ESR, roulette wheel ESR, etc
You guessed it, I'm lazy :phew:
frozenfrogz:
Maybe this is a little OT, but can someone give me a hint to why my 8050A makes a gentle ’tick’ noise every couple of minutes? Is this normal, or should I investigate?
THX, Frederik
