That's the model that i have, it's a very good bit of kit!! Just a bit on the heavy side, compared with the newer more compact models out there. Think mine is the 2000iii or something like that.
Actually i acquired mine in a very similar fashion too!! lol!!

In fact almost all my test equipment has been via gratuitous means, and i have quite a collection of kit too. ..lol!!! My last bit of decent test kit was a Biddle/Megger D007 Ductor tester.

Yep eng. I got the impression it could hang of your shoulders a bit if you were carrying it any distance...lol....seems well made though and i like the seperate keypad bit n all.....i remember you mentioned you had a seaward 2000/2000i ages ago in a thread i was looking at so i thought you might take a look here.....one of the side doors is missing on it (the one fot the incoming cable)....so i will try to get one from someware.....the college had dragged it out of a skip by all acounts and had made no attempt to plug it in but...hey...i aint moanin..lol......

 

[GLENNSPARK]

Biddle eh....Thats a "wind up"...lol.........

 

[Engineer54]

Biddle was the American arm of Megger for years. Not sure but i think it's all Megger branded these past few years...

 

[stuart569]

Merged in 1991 had to wiki it myself but have heard Biddle used as Megger before.
