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. |
