I have experience with the earlier generation 87. Great meter, but they all develop LCD issues. Easy fix, although it does repeat. Take it apart, clean the zebra strip and gold contacts on the PCB with rubbing alcohol and reassemble. DO NOT TOUCH LCD GLASS with any fluid. Brush LCD off with a dry artist paintbrush. Good to go. Thanks for the video.
Great information, my 87-3 is also 1998 ! It is also my go to almost every time. Mine needs calibration no load shows 1.9 volts, I am going to send it off to Fluke for re-calibration.
Mine is still fully functional and helping me earn a paycheck. Purchased it as "barely used" off Craigslist in 2007. I have several meters but the 87iii is still my go-to pal.
They’re other high quality brands of bench multimeters on the market and fluke just happens to be one of them. That’s just my opinion . Thanks for sharing 👍🏽
87iii can do more than you need, a real jewel
I agree👌
I still have my fluke 87 III that I bought new in 2003.
It’ll probably last forever, it’s a FLUKE ! Thanks for sharing

FLUKE meters are very loyal they’ll stick with you closer than a friend . Thanks for sharing 👍🏽
An important distinction is the fluke 87III can check capacitance only up to 5uF and the 87V can due up until 9999uF
Great info, thanks.
According to Fluke the 87 III came out in 2002.
I could be wrong, and you’re correct. I was using the information provided by google. Thanks for watching and sharing 👍🏽
I wanted to buy that meter but I could not afford it so I bought the fluke 117 fluke bench meters are the best volt checkes

Capacitance only goes to 5mfd which is a bummer. Other than that it’s something I can trust.
Gotcha👍🏾
Does this fluke beep in doide mode?
I think it does, because my 87V and my FLUKE 289 does. Thanks for posting.
I scored my 87 iii for 100$. Beat that
I can't , I hope you get years of service from it.🤞
