I think you've helped move a few Uni-T's as well.
Anyhow the last few videos felt a little different from all your previous videos, starting with the Mother Nature Takes Her Turn (which was quite long and I didn't really understand this video). One thing I see is that videos featuring popular cheap Chinese meters do well, and anything with Fluke also seem to attract viewers.
The only UNI-T product I have had a use for was the UT210, as a DC current clamp. I'm certain I helped sell a few of these.
Obviously, the lest several videos didn't included new meters. A couple of them have been non DMM related. So I am sure you are not alone in feeling they were a little different from the previous ones.
On the Brymen pocket meter, I let the battery drain down a few times, tossed it outside for the Fall and Winter months, then subjected it to some vibration. You would really have to help me understand what you don't understand, if you want me to help.
I bought a few old Fluke 27/FM's that test out good. Lets just say that 8 good ones and one that doesn't work due to emotional issues from a battery leak is more than I need. Not sure what happened that I got 9 of these as one would have been good, 2 plenty. Classic TEA (test equipment anonymous) screed I suppose. One moment I'm looking at an Ebay sale screen and the next thing I know my fingers are shaking and I needed to buy them....anyway, I see you didn't test any 27/FM's and I have too many. Like to send you one or two to blow up if you haven't folded up your tent and called it a day yet.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm looking forward to having a look at the next revision of the 121GW along with the Sanwa pocket meter. I don't see too many meters out there I am interested in looking at. It takes about two days to run a set of tests over the course of a week, depending how well a meter is designed and what tests I subject it to, so I tend to be more selective with the ones I look at.
I created a FAQ. You can find a link to it in my very first post of this thread. In there you will find I talk about the reasons why I don't run old meters. The Fluke 87V was a good example of why not to do this. While I did look at a Fluke 189, I didn't include the data I collected in the spreadsheet.
About deleting if you want me to delete the things related to my battery tests or the chess pieces, since they are not properly standarized or fully tested please let me now. I'll do and again apologize for poluting this thread. I didn't put enought effort but i'd like to finnish the current measure for the ut204A using the dummy battery and try to learn with mistakes because this particular meter its a battery hogger .
I think people want cheap meter because they miss the bast shield arc events and slow camera but could be wrong....
As I stated above, "It was really up to the people posting to decide if they wanted a thread with cat sandwich pictures or something else.". I took a few hours and went through it (second time I have done this since starting the thread). I managed to remove a couple of my own dead links in the process. I really didn't see enough off topic posts to make much of a difference in the size of the thread even if I were allowed to clean it up.
Nothing more from Dave as far as locking it down. Maybe there is a way to make a dynamic linked TOC. Currently working on a static one.
