I was just using one of my DMMs and remembered something about it that i'd forgotten for many years. Check out the Protek 506 DMM Looks pretty standard for a mid range multimeter. Now see what it looks like when you take off the rubber cover. This DMM hasn't been put in an oven or exposed to extreme heat. I got the unit from jaycar many years ago and it's been like that from new. I didn't return it to jaycar because i misplaced the reciept, and also it's an odd kind of issue to try and get a replacement on, it looks so much like user abuse. It seems the protek DMM production line was cranking these units out so fast that they could get the rubber cover on them before the plastic case had cooled down from the injection molding ;D |

wow! my 506 is not like that! It does look like that now from the hard life it has lived after providing many years of service. lots of features in it too, i upgraded to a fluke 287 and still keep the protek around. |

Looks more like damage from plasticiser leeching from the cover |

Better have a look. |
