Fluke 75/77 and Fluke 75/77 series 2 differences?????????????????
fra
Looking to buy one of these meters on ebay and was wondering if anyone
knows the difference between the series 1 and series 2 meter? I know
the 77 has touch hold whereas the 75 does not. The range switches
appear to be the same, the only thing is the series 1 appears to have
a grey holster.
Any help appreciated.

Actually, my 75 has touch hold... I've been meaning to ask, after you all
help fra. My 75 series II drains a new battery in two weeks, turned off the
entire time. Anyone ever run into this before? Also it beeps when low
battery, but will not beep for continuity? Very strange. I was going to
ask this before but then I got a better meter and it slipped my mind, went
to check on it today and sure enough the battery is dead. I just put a new
one in like a month ago :(

Isnt the 75 one of the lifetime warranty meters ??? I'd send it back to Fluke.

They are very similiar. I would believe they changed the case style,
and improved the internal firmware a bit. As for accuracy they should
be the same. I think the 77 has a hold memory positon if I remember
correctly. The 77 is not a true RMS, but the 75 may be. You should
check in to this. If you do not plan to do any involved AC
measurements, you will not need the true RMS feature.
As for the conditon of the meter, take care when buying a used one.
Fluke is very reasonable for calibration and service.
As far as the quality of Fluke meters, to me they are one of the best
I ever used. And, I used a number of their models.

have a fluke 87 which is considerable more accurate that I would part
with for any reasonable price. I bought it about 8 years ago and only
used it twice. I have a fluke 70 and a 73 which I use regular. Really
good meters. As well I have a Protek 506 with digital interface, that
I have seldom used and quite prepared to sell. Have an additional 8
other multimeters/bench meters.
Not sure what the Fluke 87 or the Protek 506 are worth, but would
accept a reasonable offer!
How many meters does one need, I definately have tooo many.
Take care.........Gary

I'm not sure why you'd part with a more accurate meter "for any reasonable
price" unless you really need the cash. Having at least one high accuracy
meter is something I consider desirable.

New price for the Fluke 89 (which is basically the '87 with some
improvements) is about $370 I think.

Like I said, I have tooo many meters and haven't used these ones in
years.
What is the point in keeping them!
Besides my Sanwa Bench Meter is the most accurate and useful to me as
99% of what I do is on the bench!
Take care....Gary

Yes, I keep a calibrated HP 6 1/2 digit multimeter on the bench
for this reason. Don't use it anywhere near as often as other
handy meters. But I sure want it there when I do need it.
