Fluke 87 multimeter - faulty display and no battery terminal

I wouldn’t have used the sandpaper on the gold plated contacts myself, but all worked out fine. Great job!

Always good to see Fluke meters getting a second chance!

You did a great job of bringing the fluke back to life, Smashing :-D You can never have enough multimeters. Two meters are handy for monitoring voltages on a amplifier. The cheap yellow 820b types are good for basic monitoring.

My guess with the 420k resistor… the fluke 87 is a 4000 count meter, so you are out of range for Kilo Ohms… that is why the meter switches to Mega Ohms.

Thank you - that makes sense.
