Thanks, I’ll look for one of those. I have three scopes—a Hantek DSO5102P that was cheap, a B&K 1474 which works pretty well but could use a good cleaning, and a Tek T932A lunchbox portable. Both the latter are 30 MHz scopes, but I most play with audio stuff so that’s fine. And I do also have a Trio VT-106 SSVM which I bought for measuring tape head audio levels. I was bringing back an old Teac A4300 open reel deck, and that meter trumps any digital meter for finding the dip in dB measurements against a 600-ohm load. That project was successful, which not all are. :) Rick “knows enough to really screw up stuff good” Denney |

--- Quote from: Robert763 on Yesterday at 11:20:32 am ---Welcome Rick. A handheld Fluke 8060A is much better for audio work than the bench 8050A. It has high frequency response and dB measurement. I'm Robert and I have 4 8060A's (and 11 other fluke meters) :-DMM --- End quote --- Thanks. (Just learning the quote button.) I have a Trio SSVM that works fine for measuring dB for audio stuff. I bought it when rebuilding a Teac R2R deck. I was able to bring one of the 8050’s back to operation yesterday evening with a good cleaning. One switch was a bit reluctant but nothing four applications of Deoxit couldn’t fix. It has a DB mode like the HP, but for adjusting tape head bias the analog meter is hard to beat. I might pick up an 8060A just because. They are neat handheld DMMs. Rick “used to buy them for bench techs in a traffic signal shop” Denney |
