Thanks to my sister's bf's generosity, I am now the proud owner of a
Fluke 87 "TRUE RMS MULTIMETER".
However, I am told it needs recalibration (this is why he gave it
away). It is not _grossly_ out of calibration; as a quick test, I
measured +5V and +12V from a handy (running) computer and local mains
voltage; I got 4.99V (DC), 12.17V (DC), and 122.7V (AC) - all totally
plausible. (Actually, when I first turned it on, it appeared as though
most of the segments on the display were flaky, some dim, some just not
working. I took it apart and put it back together and now the display
totally works - the connection from the pcb to the display is pure
pressure, and I conjecture something jarred it slightly loose.)
I did a bit of searching, but didn't find any manuals around (eg,
bitsavers' fluke/ directory didn't have anything relevant-looking).
Anyone know the procedure, or can point me at a manual somewhere?
