Old Fluke Multimeters
jh15:
I received this week an 8060a with original probes and case, and a blue IBM with crappy probes, no case.
I have a free shipping label to ship back the one I got a few weeks ago with no AC function, and a display with some segment blackening beginning.
Opened the Fluke brand and saw no schmoo around capacitors that I could spot with the top only off.
Both dead on with my little dc reference, self tests and switch tests clean, and most importantly, the DB function working.
Displays are like new.
Interesting that IBM has a large "DB" on the function switch label.
I got cases with my Flukes, but none with the IBM. Maybe because it was in a field service kit? Something to consider.
My second fluke and pouch smells wicked musty . I'm going to try a short session with my ozone generator.
Now need to research the capacitor lists, although I'm putting these in service for now.
I'll update any interesting stuff if I go for the cap replacement.

More 8060A pimp up work: 8)
My new old 'vintage green' Fluke I scored last week (with 100% CAL lab specs! :o) had no kickstand, perished rubber feet, and no leads...
i.e. it looked pretty ordinary in it's no-frills state, and since I had a knackered Brymen meter that the seller replaced asap, kindly letting me keep the faulty one, I got thinking...
Here's the 'Brymenized' Fluke 8060A that's now ready for serious work, bump friendly, and looking good in 2017 :-DMM
FWIW: If you seal it in a sandwich bag and tape off the leads, you get an improvised "Fluke 8060A-EX Intrinsically Safe Multimeter" useable in underground mines and other expl0sive environments,
...but more important is the ability to survive a tool bag drop in a mate's swimming pool after work, during 'Happy Friday' drinks slabs :-+ :-+

My other one got the 'yellow' treatment 20 years ago, that's why it's still in good nick today :phew:
Gotta give the Brymen fans here a fair go too 8)
and just in case the classic yellow holster loses favor and need to wave RED :-DMM to get into building site cafeterias >:D

Old... when I was in the US Navy in the early 1970s we used some Fluke differential voltmeters with decade switches and null meters. Cumbersome but very accurate.
