With all this Fluke talk, I shall join in as well. Actually, I need a group
insanity check.
So, I bought a Fluke A90 to go along with my Fluke 8100A. It might also be useful to provide 10A current measuring capability for my 2A- and 3A-limited DMMs.

The item looked to be in good condition and the seller disclosed that the buttons were a bit hesitant/sticky. Since he said that the shunts measured correctly, I went for it.
Imagine my horror when I unpacked it today and discovered

I sent the seller a message about the discrepancy and he claimed that he didn't look at the bottom.

Then, stated that I must be a collector to be bothered by it.

As if only a collector would be bothered by receiving a four-leg table with one leg that doesn't match the other three.

It's getting exasperating how many sellers on eBay try to get away with this kind of nonsense, feigning ignorance. Some even have 100% rating with over a thousand feedback. I've already returned several items this year because they weren't as described and I just get tired of dealing with it.
But I'm not sure about this one. I probably should return it out of principle. But the shunt resistors measure good and look fine (not fried). The switches should clean up and operate well thereafter. The rest of the enclosure is in good condition. I'm inclined to keep it and post neutral feedback since it was packed well and the seller's response was prompt. But finding a replacement foot for these ancient things is going to be a long journey.
In the meantime, I suppose I could move that goofball foot to the rear. Out of site, out of mind?
