Edit: Third revision - I am happy now with a few small corrections. Welectron hinted that the ugly manual soldering is unusual, I am still mentioning it, but shorter and with an optimistic connotation.

Just a draft, I think this one may be a little bit too fast for everyone to keep up. That and a few references to older videos, which nobody remembers ... I should not be editing in the middle of the night :)

Why not the Brymen 869s?

marcoreps

I dunno, but Mr. Welectron has been seen on Patreon before, maybe we can convince him to send one of those next ... along with that Keithley pls 😇

Kean

LOL good luck...

Hi, i am planned to buy a brymen 867s and probably the fancy probemaster test leads, all by welectron. I am wondering if there is a discount available, maybe i missed it in some previous post ?

Giacomo Spina

I would replace the tantalum capacitors if then you can recalibrate it, otherwise i would wait, the electrolytics in the power supply even right now

Don't be too humble - I like the video as it is.

Alex W

I would not worry either, I liked the video a lot, as it is. Lovely instruments by the way, the Brymen and 7081. Looking forward to seeing you using the 7081 (on the LTZ-1000 for example).

Thank you! Usually I am repeating and rearranging every sentence 3 or 4 times before liking it and after a few hours of that it can be hard to judge how it all sounds to someone else

It is a pretty powerful machine indeed, with statistics (mean and standard deviation etc) and an interesting low thermal ohms mode, that claims to measure resistance without heating the resistor with test current. Regrettably the eevblog forum guy seems to have deleted all of his modification posts

Alex W

Yes, standard deviation of the measurements is a valuable function. My best meter is a 34401A which doesn't do standard deviation. As a workaround I hook it up to the PC to do the standard deviation and histograms.

And interesting to learn how to measure resistance without the test current heating it up.

Tantalum's throw tantrums. It's is in their nature.

Great video, keep them coming. Need to get one of those Brymen meters. May be tough in the USA. I did score a Fluke 87v at a yard sale for like 20 bucks

Michael Miller

Anyone know who sells the brymen in the usa?
