As Edsel Ford Fong used to say. "Not too shabby"
Bill Fenton:
Hello Got one of these in Mid 1980s it was my first digital multi meter ( the Hung Chang Version cost about £35) it was so accurate for the Money and of quality construction. When I got my first job in industry I remember checking it by comparing it to a Philips multi meter pm 2517x which was calibrated to national standards, was only a couple of digits out on all scales. I also got a Hung Chang HM102BZ analogue meter from same supplier via Television magazine quality on these was poor. think cost was about £16. The 6010 died a few years back still have the HM102 mainly for the Buzzer the meter is  not reliable.  Not a Patch on my AVO EM272 still going strong since 1978. Now  Have  a couple of maxcom DVMs from the mid 90s  cheap as chips and accurate Plastic deteriorating, geting bit brittle on one of them

Nice review, certainly some good quality manufacturing options utilised, that have sadly been forgotten on a lot of today's instruments.

Thanks for taking the time to post.

Kind regards.

Nice report. I bought this DMM in the beginning of the 80's.
The layout is a little bit different of yours.
As you can see the display isn't working poperly:
Does anyone knows what could be the reason?

Looks like a bad zebra strip connection.
You need to disassemble the display frame and then clean both the PCB contact points and the rubber zebra strips with isopropyl alcohol.
