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.....

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.

Yep. Open it up and have a good look around inside. See if there's any corrosion or gunk anywhere on the PCB.

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!

The screen is fine, it turns on and moves the points on the screen, but it does not measure anything, it is at 0 and the on-screen indicator of the BT battery is always active, please help.

-capacitors ok
