Fluke is an excellent brand, if you are checking capacitors, an old analog one will probably work good for that task but I have a fluke 77 and a 119. I bought my first fluke in a pawn shop and sent it to fluke for repair, had almost 100 invested before I learned to check each setting before buying used. Now I try to buy new. Tim

Fluke repairs what it sells? Repair and calibrate from memory, yep.

I have a Fluke 87-3 that I had to buy to test for parasitic draws 30Ma was the spec. i also use my old Snap-on Mt836 for testing Alt diodes and rectifier bridges. The old analogue meters still have their place. Thank God I dont have to use these to make a living anymore.
