If you haven't read through the entire thread or other 8060A threads on eevblog, the caps leak from the bottom bung so it won't be obvious by looking for the traditional obvious bloated vents at the top.

The recommendation is to replace all the caps in a 30+ year old meter if you find one bad cap based on the cockroach theory.

A good IPA bath with clean tooth scrub or ultrasonic bath after you remove all the caps helps as well to remove all the cap juice that might have wicked into surrounding areas and components.  Also check the main IC sockets as per

You might see only one, but you can be guaranteed there are more of the same species nearby.

A Fluke 32 was another interesting meter that came with the clear 8060A. Here it is compared to another Fluke 32.

Is there a source for the 8060A MAC chips? I could use two or three of 'em.
