Old Fluke Multimeters
Electro Detective:
Awesome snag Mr. ModemHead! :clap: fwiw watch out for pyramid robbers
and the Use By Date on the battery is...? :-//
If it's the original supplied battery, subtracting 3 years? might hint at when the meter was made and shipped from Fluke
Fungus:
$66 is a darn good price for that, I don't expect to see another NIB 8060A any time soon.
I would have bid it to $120 if I lived in the USA. ::) (heads over to TEA thread for therapy)
From the serial number I'd guess it was made a year or two before mine, so ... around 1988.

Good guess. The date code on the Fluke RMS converter is 8649, so the unit was probably manufactured in early 1987. The board rev is "H". The battery was made long before they started putting use-by dates on them. It is a nasty corroded mess on the back side. It's an interesting relic, but I won't be keeping it in the box for sure. The operator's guide is already stained a bit.
ThunderCat:
Great score!
I didn't know the value of a Fluke until I did my research and also learned from venerable Dave here. I got a Fluke 87 and haven't looked back!! I love vintage stuff like this too though!!

If you get around to popping the hood again, it would be interesting what brand or no name capacitors are in there, and their unused 'time capsule' condition
Hopefully no leakage and meter in perfect spec like my recent ex R+D 8060A acquire noted earlier above, bashed but not beaten :box: :-+
which was covered with multiple calibration stickers and unbelievably never opened !
i.e. no cracked posts :o :o when I opened it up, with the original powdered plastic on the 3 screws
and yes the rear rubber feet had turned to runny road tar :D
LOL, maybe the 'CAL lab' used the 8060A as THE reference to check their gear was up to speed,
and just slapped 'feel good' cal stickers on the 8060A without opening it to adjust anything
...lining their pockets with no brainer easy cash >:D
