A Fluke 8842A:

I needed a good 5 digits multimeter for my 0.1% precision sum circuits I'm going to build (and probably sell) for Euroracks, so the last EEVblog video was just in time. No need to spend thousands of euros for a modern instrument, if this has the same or better spec.
Unfortunately, as Dave promised, because of his video, probably it was double the usual price (EUR 275), but it has the optional AC measurement unit, and the GPIB module as well, which will be very useful in combination with the
Raspberry Pi Voltnuts platform later for creating characteristics curves, or automatic calibration with a simple Python script (for a +/-10V bipolar multichannel fast 16 bit ADC/DAC module I plan build). And it was calibrated, so I think the price is fair. Tested with a DMMCheck r3 from
voltagestandard.com. The Fluke is probably more accurate than the voltage tester.
The case looks a bit brownish, but that's ok, same as with my vintage C64 computers. Maybe I'll use some retro-bright for it, too
