Hi all,**In my 55 years of servicing, I've only blown up one thing: A Micronta DMM, which I connected to a laser power supply. I should not have done it. Clear operator failure. Everything else works just fine. Even my first multimeter. A Sanwa U-50D my dad gave me on my 14th birthday. Still works fine. My first DMM. A cheap 'n cheerful SOAR. Works just fine. My first Fluke meter. A 40 year old Fluke 85. Works fine. I've had to clean the switch a few times. Otherwise, no problems. Ditto my other 15 or so meters. Same deal with my 'scopes.
I'm starting to get a bit fed up with having my test equipment blow up
just when it's needed. This is the drawback with vintage gear; if it's
not used frequently then it can go *bang* the next time you switch it
on. It makes for good practice in repairing stuff, but wastes a lot of
time which could be better spent doing other things.
I think it's time I modernised my test gear. I was just wondering if
anyone has any recommendations they can share. Is there a particular
piece of test equipment you couldn't live without? Something you're
particularly impressed with? I'd be interested to know so I can
perhaps acquire said item and thereby reduce the number of explosions
I experience.
Thanks,
CD.
