Just snagged this nice Fluke 8842 for the cool price of 100 quids, came with GPIB and AC module along with a set of none genuine but serviceable leads but was very brown / yellowish and sticky, cleaned up not too bad, still brown/yellow but the stickiness has gone.
Display is good and strong, last calibration date was 1999, so connected up to my voltage reference and bingo it agrees 100% with my other flukes, third one with the weak display removed from my stack now.
Pleased with this but the main feature of it is the ultra low resistance range of 20 ohms, and gives a resolution of 0.1m
but that is only available in the 4 wire mode
, that means I'll have to make up a dedicated set of leads to help with the tracking down short circuits on PCB's using normal probes.
Now I'm on the hunt for even more bargains, Ebay here I come.
