Member Rsjsouza suggests meters have gone down hill (my words, not his). It's been eight years since I ran that first batch of $50 meters. Is there any interest in seeing a repeat?
For a meter to qualify, it must meet the following:
<$60 USD with shipping
Available on eBay or Amazon (They must be easily obtained in brand new form. You should be able to buy one and repeat my tests. No used meters.)
Auto range (manual range requires way too much time to test)
Must not be a previously tested model. No repeats.
>1999 count (I started looking at meters that I though may be useful for electronics which is why the failures went down and costs increased. For low cost meters, anything goes.)
If you have a meter you would like to see tested, feel free to post the brand, model, supplier.
Most likely, I will only transient test the meters, unless we actually find a gem in the mix. I would most likely purchase another Amprobe AM510 to run with them (runner up). Also would include the original Fluke 101 that dominated that test by a wide margin. That meter was never damaged unlike the original AM510 that I had repaired.
