It must be a lucky week, I just scored one locally and it looks like it was either owned by a heavy smoker
(now one with the Earth / final smoko) or Bruce Banner's personal meter, because the grey/gray has turned
GREEN I'm not one to gas about test equipment eye candy, though it does have a cool vintage 'Camo' vibe to it,
bought it because the display is bright and contrasty, and everything appears to work fine and in spec.
I'll pull it apart asap and see if there's any homework to do on it..
It was covered in CAL stickers, so I am optimistic that someone else has already performed the 'classic resto' honors
Update: it's a Revision J,
no name caps but not leaking or obese,
very clean board (cleaner now, with cotton bud and IPA)
nuked battery compartment a mess, all good now.
on off switch seized up, after one careful drop of Servisol in the right spot, now works like new (maybe better!)
Original internal HRC 3A fuse is ok, and has an inline quality ceramic 2A British style (RS badged) fast blow 'user replaceable' fuse in the battery compartment, instead of the glass ones I expect
I suspect this Fluke may be a UK model because the 2A British style fuse slots in perfectly.
Here's the killer:
Dust balls in 2 switches at the exposed open end inside the meter, spotted by..fluke! unbelievable! had to pick them out with a tiny bent pin, go figure..
I reckon this may be why the meter was sold off cheap, intermittent connections perhaps?
Anyway, this classic meter in a quick shootout with a recent CAL 87V in High Res Mode agree on everything to the last digit, including fluctuating 240 volt mains and insulation tests, uncanny
I'll compare it with my other 8060A asap
as an exercise in futility
