Thanks for dropping in again David and sharing with us those times you had with Fluke which if little else give us an insight and a wonderful historical record of those days. Please carry on. PS, ever thought about writing a book ? Very temped to grab one of your meters..... --- End quote --- Similar feeling here. David, your insights are quite valuable and I love hearing the stories. For others, I recommend listening to the AmpHour episode, which is filled with interesting bits. I too had a few articles published (nothing really novel as the 8060A), but I was fortunate to have a final revision sent to me. The major drawback in my case was the space in the magazine, which forced me to do some severe editing. I also had a hard time fitting the text nicely between ads or an article break ( the phrase "continues on page XYZ"), so an idea or train of thought wouldn't be lost between pages of ads. |

Can be the electrolytic capacitors in the unit have leaked as well. Common problem. |

I just got my hands on a 8060A, which I probably paid a bit too much for (especially shipping, *€%&/%&€€%&(/ Ebay GSP |O ), but side-button Flukes were the holy grail of my teen gear dreams. (sort of a wonder that I've got a wife and children, but I digress.) I had to have one. I just unpacked it, opened it, put a new battery in, and in this TEA thread post I've got some pics proving that buying quality pays off. Apologies for the -hp- if there are fanboys around, but the 974A holds its ground well and is my reference in absentio calibration. Thanks for a really nice multimeter, drtaylor! |
