[Techtoolslist] Fluke 900 kit on eBay

[Tony Jones]

I have two of these.    I don't see the Interface Buffer pictured.
 Without it you wont be doing any ICT.  Without the IB connected it will
fail self-test as pictured.

Finding an IB is very difficult. I've never seen one for sale in the US in
the last 6 years.   Every 900 that has shown up for sale has been missing
the IB.   I found mine in Brazil and had a Brazilian coworker get it for
me.

Also as Jess mentioned there are different mainboard versions and you
really want the latest.  If its running the latest firmware you can get it
to display hsb version, otherwise it requires opening the case.

Also the membrane keyboard sucks and they take forever to boot up.

An ABI 4000 us a far more useful device, does ICT, supports 40 pun devices
and has a very useful built in test basic.

For OCT the BK Precision is my goto device.

$0.02
