[Techtoolslist] Troubleshooting a defective pod

[John Robertson]

Send a note to Shy @ Navatek.com - he has a lot of the old fluke parts, 
might have those - do quote the part number 585992!

I have a 9900 pod that I am using for parts (seems to be little interest 
in those pods) and could pull that IC/Buffer off if same part number, 
but better to get a new one from Shy if he has them. Shy has been a big 
help to many Fluke collectors...
