Old Fluke Multimeters
Benzz:
Oh yes, this thread started it. As I said, it was a junk box nobody really cared about. Now I found out that recapping is not very funny.
Btw, there is another toy which fortunately works quite well. For comparison a pic with a calibrated HP MM.

Nice little save from land fill !, while your in 're capping' mode, you should also look inside the 8050 as there are also some small electro's that maybe starting to leak. Well worth a quick check.
I have three of these meters and all three had leaky caps.
Benzz:
Yes, I think I will do that. The 8050 ist a bit slow, takes some time till the reading is stable. This is because of leaking caps, yes?
lowimpedance:
Cap issue aside, given that it has sat unused for a long time it would also be a good idea to 'exercise' the switches as jittery readings can be caused by oxides building up on the switch contacts.
Benzz:
Ok, the switches, thanks for the hint. That robot-deo (deoxit) will help, I hope. Ah, those long winter nights are comming, time to fix old gear...
