Knowing no end to my suffering, I realized I enjoyed repairing a friends Fluke 8021B so much, that I bought my own off eBay for $20 and decided to repair it. Checking the meter out before the repair, everything seemed to work just fine, including the historically amazing continuity beeper ((the whole reason I bought it, since it has a trigger time of 50µs (that’s 50 micro-seconds, or 0.00005 seconds). Meaning it only has to see continuity for that long before the beeper sounds. So you can quite literally sweep along an IC pretty fast to find which pin may/may not have continuity to your test point. Thankfully, there’s also a pulse stretcher that means even if you only have continuity for those 50µs, the beeper will sound for at least 200ms.)) ((And yes, theoretically the 8060a has a faster beeper, but… okay, fine, I’m a meter collector, and I couldn’t turn down an 8021B for $20.)).
