Urggh
My UT61E is again out of calibration, see here:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/how-good-is-the-ut61-series/msg1214739/#msg1214739
Was measuring 12V it read around 10.2V. Its done this before. I don't have the PCB ver and spare pads to install an LT1970 Vref...although I could do it. But that's not the issue...it keeps going out of cal by quite a bit. Any suggestions? Maybe I should first change the POT I mean there is not much to go wrong here looking at the schematic.
An unreliable multimeter is useless..so I have to fix it. Using one of my many backuo meters atm

Blue trimmer VR1 - is bullshit. I have the same problem. Replace and calibrate it - and calibration will never goes out.

Ok re: my UT61E was loosing cal and was all over the place DC volts. Put in new 2K pot adjusted roughly with variable PSU...its all appears ok time will tell. Waiting for cheap fleabay voltage reference to arrive to cal it better.
