Multi function testing...................

[Geordie Spark]

I used to be an active member of the Musicians' Union in the early 70's and the union rate of pay for drummers was lower than - say - a keyboard player, bass player, trombonist etc. because the Union did not at the time recognise drummers as musicians. It was something to do with the need / ability to read music I think.

Dunno if it's still the same now though.

Most of my jokes are about drummers. The rest are about Mackems !!

Drummer jokes would get a thread of its own. Makem jokes? Us at the minute......But they're still going down.

There are plenty of good deals out there, Megger and Fluke are the obvious choices, however you should also consider the Metrel testers if you are working on a budget, they offer the full range of electrical tests and some of them come with downloading software as well.

Look around and you'll find a good deal on new models, they range from around £399 + VAT.

Less than that Mark, the range of Metrel testers start from £339+VAT, and we can also offer a 5% discount as a forum sponsor. The Metrel MI3000 is a great choice and has a newly designed colour scheme. This tester is exclusive to us within the UK and we can ship on a next working day service to you should you wish to purchase.

Wow, does the new colour scheme add technical functionality?

Probably not.

It's more a "Security Feature" .. I mean, what self-respecting thief would want to nick a fluorescent pink MFT???

OH! .. Hang on .... the one who's going to sell it on to Archie.

 

[Andy78]

Awww they made it look all grown up.
I kinda like my MI3000 blue and yellow "fisher price" colour scheme.

Anyone brings out a bright orange MFT let me know, I want one.

Mine's a very old Metrel thing and it's been so long since I saw it I've forgotten what colour it is, but it's in its bag and is serving a good purpose as a door stop for the utility room door.

You know ........ I can actually believe that!

I think I may have seen you - I was in London a lot in the 80s - either working at Olympia or Earls Court or passing through on my way to Heathrow or Gatwick at the start or end of a tour. And that's all there is to be said about London - a great place to pass through!!

I suspect my Megger MFT is on its last legs. Bits keep falling off, and it has started giving odd error codes beginning with a E ... As it's due a calibration soon I was wondering how much a fix and recal would cost.

Well, blow me over... Acutest is quoting £336 + VAT for calibration and 'fixed price repair' (some print applies!).

Although I'm a Megger fan - 4 testers in the van - I'm now thinking if it is knackered I may as well get the 'cheapest' MFT I can find, and just scrap the Megger MFT. A Fluke 1651B is £395 + VAT.

Are we into age of disposable testers already?
