I too found an open box 189. It’s my favorite meter, period! I’ve had it over 10 years. Show me a better meter today! It’s been back to Fluke once for calibration confirmation. According to my DMM CHECK, it remains in calibration after all these years.
Beautiful meter, I recently got mine formally calibrated and it was almost bang-on even though it is some 20 years of age by now. I have several DMM's (too many, but they seem to multiply over time 😂) including a couple of bench models and even though they are all really good, I find my self reaching for the 189 all the time. Thanks for the video, best 73 de OZ1LQO
189 is a fantastic meter had one of these for 15 Years+ still accurate to this day the only down side is crap battery life , got a 233 which eats batteries for fun so don't bother with this remote head meter, also got a 112 which is real handy tiddler and a couple of 30 year old 77's as tool box work horses with fantastic battery life and rubber bumpers, I remember the RS salesman demoing this meter in the 80's by throwing it against the wall!
