Show your Multimeter!

I just snagged a Weston 6000 for my collection, waiting for it to arrive.  I am yet to see a meter with the ports on the side

I just snagged a Weston 6000 for my collection, waiting for it to arrive.  I am yet to see a meter with the ports on the side

  Oddly enough, the ports are on the starboard side.  Can't wait to see inside.

Daetron MM100 (page 7).  I tried bidding on one, but lost.

Measures 4 voltages at same time.  4.5 digits when only measuring 2 voltages.

My turn to show off
These are my handheld meters. Usually the two  bench ones are used the most (Fluke 8840A and 8842A), but they are not as interesting as this group. Keithley 130A, Hioki 3200,Meterman 35XP, Agilent U1252A in back row.
Front row: Sinclair PDM35, Alda M-838, Yokogawa CL-220


And a closeup of the more senior section. Hioki (circa 1984) is built like a tank and working well. Note that it actually has covered plugs- seems pretty rare for that era, as well as a neon overvoltage indication lamp.
 Sinclair meter is flaky (apparently as expected), and a Keithley is slightly out of cal. The Alda meter is actually from 1993, and has the worst LCD

My work has an 87 V and a 117.

Yaaaaay.

[roket]

I have Sanva 5000, Fluke 125 and recently I bought Agilent 1272, Agilent - the ideal device.  very fast, illumination,
excellent functionality. I love the good equipment

Paging Mr ModemHead - the beast has arrived! Here it is next to a modern meter
I did not realize it's that huge, runs on 2x9V batteries and you get to them by lifting front panel!
Write-up coming up

I guess it's about time I made a contribution to this thread.  I won't bore you with the gray-and-yellow meters around here.  But here are some items from Mr. Modemhead's Multimeter Museum.

Really nice seeing that Beckman multimeter there. I have the exact same model (will post a pic of my collection). The Beckman 3020 was the non-RMS model and the 3030 was the True RMS model. Fine multimeters for their day, going all the way down to a 200uA scale. One of the other features I really liked about the Beckman was that it had a 2A scale. Very nice collection.

From left to right, my collection includes two Brymen meters (BM867 and BM811), a Fluke 77, Beckman 3020 and three MajorTech models on the right. The pocket DMM (MT855) is only 10mm thick, but is extremely capable for its size - it has a frequency counter that goes op to 30MHz.

The clamp meter is a 40A-400A model which I use around the house. The orange one I bought because it was ultra-cheap and based on the Intersil ICL7106 DMM chip, an old favorite of mine.

The Fluke and the Beckman last saw calibration in 1989, but both are still spot-on. I had the two Brymens calibrated a few months ago - since I've had these, they are my go-to DMMs on the bench. Before I had them, I mainly used the Fluke and the Beckman.



The two Brymens are sold in South Africa as the TBM867 and the TBM811 respectively.

My very first multimeter, bought at Henry's Radio on Edgeware Road:



My main bench meter, the HP 3466A:



A Keithley 195 that I wired up to an IEEE-488 card in a PC:



And one that I don't use regularly, but I do sometimes take to shows, the Solartron LM 1450:

Might do a teardown of Protek one day, but not any time soon.

Here is my new (old) Gossen Metrawatt METRA HIT 28S
It works perfect but needs to be recalibrated.

Here is my new (old) Gossen Metrawatt METRA HIT 28S

Wish I could afford Gossen, so you'll under stand the following statement....YOU SUCK! 

[Frost]

Wish I could afford Gossen

I can only afford the used ones , this is from 2007 but in perfect condition.
I think because they are so expensive, most of the owners handles them with care.

I would hope so, and wonderful that you found a used unit in such shape. 

They're not that common here in the US, so used is very hard to come by IME (most is photography related, and even some PSU's <Konstanter>; currently zero Gossen DMM's listed, unless you count 1x listing for leads).

I have a killer drantek outdoor which is just a rebrand gossen. And i only paid 125 usd  brand new!

And i only paid 125 usd  brand new!

A new Meter for that price is an absolute super bargain.
The regular price for a new METRAHIT OUTDOOR is ~850 USD

I wouldn't mind seeing those gray & yellow meters of yours, especially ones with histories where you fixed them. 

I made a little gray and yellow sculpture for you.  A few needed repairs, but a bottle of IPA and some fusible resistors takes care of most problems.  I fibbed earlier, I did save my pennies and buy the leftmost 87 around 1990. With an updated LCD and white backlight, it's still my favorite meter.

Sorry for bringing up an old post, but how did you update the LCD? Replace the elastomers or use a different LCD? I couldn't find this on your blog...

[Napalm2002]

I should've bought more of them

You need something like this auction.

no, not mine

I like actual meter movements.  that seemed like a good deal, but I just didn't need another meter movement at home.

IMHO your multimeter is a rebadged CEM DT-9917.
