Old Fluke Multimeters
Electro Detective:
Ha, been there a few times, playing the 'what's that NEW noise?!' game.. |O
oh well, at least you know for sure that the ticking doesn't mean time may be running out on the 8050
:palm:
Electro Detective:
@ helius, thanks for the heads up, I was multitasking on a few fixits and forgot to peek under the shield before re-assembly. Will get onto it asap and add a couple more photos.
Forgot to add, I ever so gently isoprop cleaned the 8060A board contacts which mate with the 4 rubber buttons,
and a slight dab on the small rubber strip on the display, and its board contacts.
I think the meter 'seems' a wee bit quicker or more responsive now (?!) :-//
It still has killa specs on all ranges and easily keeps pace compared with it's cocky nephews 189 and 289 :-+
EDIT: added 'under the shield' pic to the photos above, there is an orange Nichicon cap residing there, and no capacitor issue :phew:

Not at all. The specs of these meters are still competitive with the latest Flukes, 0.05% DC accuracy is better than most new meters on the market today.
The push-button design is interesting, reliability/confidence factor is top-notch. What more could you ask for in a multimeter?
I'd like to own one one day but they're fast turning into expensive collector's items.

Just saw this on eBay:

I wouldn't complain if some soul buys that and shares them out to established EEVBLOG members at fair prices. :popcorn:
Electro Detective:
Whoever scores those meters better bid on a roll of grey duct duck tape too,
the bottom row meters appear to be missing battery covers.
