Martin.M:
I have a question.

Fluke Table DMM, 8300A, 8500A:

why they have front connections where the good quality banana cables will not make a good contact??
In my HP3456A this is much better.
Is there special cables from fluke ?

thank you.

For daily uses of today's electronics workshop, would these old Fluke Meters be still reliable and good test meters compared to the new meters coming out of China sold on eBay and Amazon?
Are these old Fluke metres being used and restored for nostalgic reasons or do they actually work accurately and reliably as the new ones?

Both.

Both my Fluke 8050A and my Fluke 27 are bang on, checked against 0.1% resistors and a 0.2% voltage reference, so I'd not only say yes, but also even more so. The Fluke 27 itself is a beast of a multimeter, your average Chinese multimeter off ebay can't hold a candle to it, at least in ruggedness/reliability.

Same here; generations of Flukes are still matched quite closely (8020A, 8060A, 8062A, 27/FM, 87V and 189). I would say it is quite useable by today's standards.
