    Non working Fluke 77 goes for $54.69 + 15 shipping

    Now I know there are a lot of people who love Fluke multimeters and for good reason, but I can't understand the bidding war for a non working Fluke 77 for $54.69 + $15 shipping.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/180815011386

    Someone with 1424 transactions came in with 7 seconds left to win.

    So $70 for a multimeter that may have a blown 1K fusible resistor. I believe a genuine Fluke 1K fusible resistor is also around $7?

    Did I mention it comes with no probes or protective holster? Brand new Fluke TL-75 leads are $25 in Canada.

    Is this some sort of collector's item because it says Heath?

    Maybe the guy who wanted $100 with Buy It Now for the $2.99 Harbour Freight multimeter wasn't so crazy after all?

      Maybe he desperately wants it for spare parts?

          Idiot war.
          I see them now and then.
          They get so into winning they forget what it's worth.
          .
          It's great thing when you're the seller!
          .
          You'll see them a lot in the RAM category.
          The final price is almost always more than it costs new at Newegg.
          .
          Occasionally I'll track something that rolls over and gets re-listed with no bidders for weeks or months that all of a sudden there's a bidding war over it and the price shoots way beyond reason.
          .
          It's doubly funny when there's a buy-it-now for the exact same thing for much less and it doesn't sell at all.

                      Dell 2209WA - power supply - Fusible Resistor replacement
                      by jinu_j
                      Hi

                      I am trying to repair an ancient Dell 2209WA Monitor which suddenly shut off with a pop sound. On investigation found that one of the fusible resistors had blown. Further investigation identified multiple components as faulty because of which the fusible resistor blew. Please refer the attached circuit diagram showing the components that were found to be damaged.

                      1. FR950 - blown fusible resistor - 0.2 Ohm 1W
                      2. Q950 - shorted Q950 MOSFET - 650V 10A N Channel Mosfet
                      3. R835 - Blown Resistor - 20KOhm SMD resistor
                      4. D930 - Shorted Schottkey Diode...

                      Fluke 123 no image on the screen
                      by Khoja
                      Hello experts,

                      I recently purchased a used Fluke 123 Industrial Scopemeter from an online Japanese auction site (jauce.com). It has now been delivered. Unfortunately, I overlooked the fact that the seller neither guarantees its working condition nor accepts returns.

                      When I power it on, the backlight comes on, but there is no image on the screen. After opening the device, I noticed clear signs of previous soldering in several areas (photos attached). It seems someone attempted repairs before.

                      At this point, I'll have to try and fix it myself. Has anyone here...

                      Fluke 23 Fusible Resistor
                      by habanerocat
                      Hi,

                      I have the above DMM with a blown 1K 2W Fusible Resistor on the input circuit.

                      Maintenance manual says to replace with the exact part for safety reasons.

                      But I can't find this part or get a substitute for my usual suppliers here in Ireland/UK.

                      Any ideas?

                      Thanks..............

                      repairing a Fluke 335 clamp meter
                      by Baldbentley
                      I am repairing a Fluke 335 clamp meter. After contacting fluke it appears there is no service manual or circuit board/ component list available. I have determined that there us a faulty PNP bipolar junction transistors shown in the pictures. I am having trouble sourcing this transistor. I pulled a good one off of the board and tested it with my component analyzer but I cannot find anything that matches the specifications. Any help locating this part or a replacement would be greatly appreciated.

                      Thanks...

                      Buy a Agilent U1242A or Fluke 179 DMM?
                      by Crystaleyes
                      Need a new (used) DMM and there are two in the area for resonable prices.

                      The Agilent U1242A is 63 GBP (about 80 USD)
                      https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/pdfs/...4dc89c13fc.pdf

                      The Fluke 179 is 55 GBP (roughly $68.00)
                      https://www.fluke.com/en-us/product/...fluke-179-eda2


                      Kinda leaning towards the Agilent.

                      Anyone think that is a bad idea?
