You know it's good when the bottom side reveals EVEN MOAR STUFF

[@MaxKoschuh]

Haha, yes, exactly

[@TheDefpom]

I just fixed a couple of 1062... and bought 2 more broken ones to fix as they are nice to work on.

[@MaxKoschuh]

Will check that out :-)

That last IC was in some very cheap IC Socket strip type things . I used to use them a very long time ago here in the UK when I was short of money but they were so poor quality I spent more money and got better ones . It looks like they tried them out -- had trouble so soldered the IC to the sockets --strange . An option was to also buy polythene holders for the strips of contacts . The contacts came as a strip ( like Dupont contacts etc do ) and you cut them into a strip of 4 ,7 ,8 etc and put them into the polythene holder ( or not ) then soldered them in place and then ( & only then ) broke off the strip that joined them all and kept them 0.1 inch spaced .

I remember using that stuff for breadboarding 40 odd years ago!

[@TheDefpom]

I wish I had seen that on eBay, I was looking to buy one of those, as long as they have the resistance and Ac options installed, that meter is exactly what I would have wanted to buy.

[@MaxKoschuh]

You are welcome. It's the only Datron item I've had.

[@cambridgemart2075]

Happy birthday for 2 weeks time!

[@MaxKoschuh]

hehe, thank you !!!

[@cambridgemart2075]

Defpom has just done a series of videos covering the repair of some of these and the 1072 as well

[@TheDefpom]

Yes, yes I have, I would have bought this meter if I had seen it on eBay.

[@MaxKoschuh]

Will check that out!!! Thanks for the information

[@MaxKoschuh]

​@@TheDefpom I guess it was my faulty to put it up as an auction

[@TheDefpom]

Max if you get any more 1071/1081 which have the resistance and Ac options please let me know, especially if they are electrically broken, those are my favourite.

[@MaxKoschuh]

OK, will let you know. The new owner told me that the 175V rail (?) is faulty. I guess he has repaired it already.

[@TheDefpom]

Ing. Max Koschuh - will be one of the round bridge rectifiers most likely.

[@cambridgemart2075]

That 'LM714' was an OP-07!

[@MaxKoschuh]

yes, my fault. I even thought it's an LM741 (in a military can)

[@TheDefpom]

Lol at 2:07, those particular caps are often dead in these meters.

[@MaxKoschuh]

Yes, absolutely

[@douro20]

I think the chip with the aluminium tag on it is a PLA.

[@buda70]

Is it work?
