Looks like it posted this time...
I appreciate the dialog as much as working on stuff, these DMMs are interesting, but they are pretty small compared to the tube amp chassis I build and work on... I picked up a total of 4 meters Sunday counting this Fluke, for next to nothing... Two others seem to work fine, and with the exception of this Fluke and the newest one, which reads low through out the scales...A new battery didn't fix it, but in looking at the guts, I think it is a cheap Chinese made 5buck meter in a nicer than average case "Lipstick on a pig" if you will!!! Its even labeled Gardner-Bender a well known electrical parts company, but I'm not sure why they put their name on it!! no info is available online schematic wise either, but they are still selling them!!!
I'll dig up parts and revisit the Fluke when I find something...
