I had to LOL about how many of have a bunch of meters on our benches. Radio shack products was pretty good at times as long as you knew what you was buying. I own and still use some of the items purchased before they got into cell phone plans. Nice meter and it is great to see one still working.. Take care sugar
I still have bits of Radio Shack stuff kicking around: speakers, some tools, even some components. I even learned to program in BASIC in front of a TRS-80 at the local Radio Shack here. During its heyday, it really was a pretty cool place. 🙂
Nice benchtop meter - looks like pretty inspired by Fluke. Transistor identification is a cool feature here. I'm surprised it has just one small PCB, was expecting a mainboard. What was I thinking... that this is a Keithley or Fluke? Ha. Still nice for an amateur grade DMM, it's pretty capable. Perfect nails!
Even by today's standards, it's still a surprisingly capable DMM. Here in the US, RadioShack (or 'Rat Shack') used to get joked about a lot, but they really did put out a lot of good equipment, and were *the* source for parts. It was sad when they all shut down - the end of an era.
