The switch looks identical, not surprisingly, to the Fluke 17B teardown video that Dave did.
While answering another Fluke 17B question, I noticed that the Fluke 17B manual was dated October 2002. On Fluke's website, the 17B is listed as discontinued (due to the introduction of the 17B+). If correct and given it is a 13 yeard old design now, I wonder if one of the following scenarios is true?
1) To get some money on their discontinued Fluke 17B leftover molds, they sold off the molds to somone for $$ with the provision the rubber is not yellow.
2) They were destined to be destroyed, but someone diverted the truck to another factory?
PS. Since Martin Lorton was just at Fluke HQ, I alerted Martin to this thread to see if Fluke HQ has any feedback?
