My local Surplus store has a couple of things that are interesting. There is a Fluke 8060A, working for $35 USD, is this a good deal? I have a Fluke 27/FM and a cheap Velleman meter that I want to stick in the company van for low volt DC and resistance measurements and maybe get the 8060A.
The other meter is an 8860A for $10 with an error 16 which is a communications issue between the in guard and out guard processors. Is this repairable? If the processors are bad are they available or unobtainium? I haven't dug too deep because my troubleshooting skills definitely need work and I am not sure this is one I can tackle. I took a quick look at the troubleshooting guide but it said only the issue not the troubleshooting steps. Thoughts are greatly appreciated. I ask about this one because I do have an 8840 that has issues that I want to revisit with help from the crew here. The Fluke yahoo group was very non helpful. I posted my problem and not a single response. In fact, I see very little from the group in my email period.
