[Techtoolslist] Fluke 900 kit on eBay

[Jess Askey]

I have used mine pretty extensively and you have to ensure that that hardware is not early otherwise they are pretty limited in functionality. Even with the newest hardware version, I have never actually gotten mine to identify a fault properly because the process of getting a valid 'performance envelope' on the working IC is challenging and loose.

With that however, I will still bid on it as I am still borrowing one to test with. So I don't even own one.

I started writing updated windows software (in place of the super clunky DOS stuff from 1993) for it but until I can prove that the Fluke 900 actually works for arcade PCB era stuff, I'm not going to spend any more time on the software dev.

Hopefully someone in the USA will buy it, by the time you add shipping to the UK and customs charges it’s instantly far too much!!!
