As much as I enjoy watch you fix this stuff… You have to stop fixing all these from Anchor for free… They don’t have any cheap stuff for sale anymore for the rest of us to fix-up 🙄🤦🏻♂️
I used to work for the local Fluke agent and repaired those by the dozen. In the late 80s Fluke stopped supporting them and spares dried up quite quickly.
I have two of the 8600A is correct English Making the Model number plural is grammatically incorrect. Read more to improve your knowledge of the English language. You should know that adding additional characters to a model number corrupts the number - thus making it invalid. Remember that for the future. Good bye and good luck.
Fuse implementation for mA range is great - Fluke just put one directly behind banana socket! 😂👍 My first thought after seeing insides is that, display issues may be caused by bad solder joints at flexed PCB.. It's being under mechanical load from 70s..
right, i was also admired that fuse can be replaceable at the 'mA' input by turning left, that aseembly was popped out. To my remember, there was a spring inside of it.
That is going back almost 50 years. I bought one in 1977 - I remember well as my daughter was born in February of that year Also - I purchased a HV probe with it -- Cherry red in color - and I still have it. The Meter is somewhere in the Garage - though I don't know where exactly. Al I remember is that the price was frightening - More frightening than flying the GOVERNMENT-issued RAF Nuclear capable Bomber I was often flying. Even they are now defunct -
Two more videos to go and, a reduction offer from seller on eBay that expires soon. I think $35 with shipping is going to be worth it even if it doesn’t work and I can’t fix it. There are some great parts in there that could be repurposed. On to part 2 now.
For many years, the venerable Fluke 8600A was the chosen meter for the USN Nuclear Electronic Technicians for it's 4 1/2 digit resolution coming in handy for many calibration and alignment procedures.
I have one too and had a broken one as well. I kept the LED display so if your second 7 segment display is unrepairable you can have one. The first one displays only +, - and 1, followed by four 7-segments and a dot.
i was a bit disappointed with the mains voltage clearance, even worse for 230V land. :) also, the mains Plug often gets cracked solder joints. You could maybe do a video looking at the clearances, thanks for the nice Vids!!
I am so glad that I could see that Fluke 8000A again, it was my bench DMM when it was released to the market back in my university lab class. MY 8000A had exactly the same phenomenon that 1 segment of LED was out. I found out that one resistor of that segment current path in a integrated- 7 resistors package which the current flows to turn on was out, so I patched a normal carbon resistor just on the PCBoard at that resistor path. Cosequently a little bit diffence brightness than other segments. And the wrong voltage readings is caused by somewhere in the input voltage divider (resistors), I guess, not sure.
It is FLUKE not Fluke Pay attention to detail. Make sure you see exactly what it is you are L00KING at Your eyes see one thing and your brain see something entirely different. You were programmed to be a ZOMBIE and you do not realize it. ZOMBIES have eyes but cannot see - ears and cannot hear.

Looks brand new inside. Must have cost a fortune back then.
When I purchased one in 1977 it was $300 USD and the HV probe
I bought with it was $150 USD - Which was approximately one month salary -

I have two 8600As with good displays that constantly drift. They worked when I got them 30 years ago, but died while being stored.

I was expecting way more going on inside there. :)

I think I've seen a version/revision of this that actually has a flex PCB in it for the display board.
Nice, let's hope those chips are ok...cheers.

I have one of these, I'm about to turn it on see if it works!
So how did it go? I’m looking at one for $35.
10:53 - That big orange component, maybe capacitor, has cracked. I checked other 2 parts and looks like you didnt replace that component.

I got an 8000A in 1986. Still use it in my garage.
Interesting.I was just given one which is DOA.

I've got 13 of just the 7 segment LEDs

From where is he feeding the voltage to the DMM? anyone know?
Thank you
just a bench power supply
@@IMSAIGuy Ah ok.
Thank you

Seems all the ranges drift by same amount percentually. So maybe even reference is dead.
