We used to have a inqustion to replace a main board, when I took over the workshop. I found it was often cheaper in labour and parts to do board changes.

Yeah, the "Golden Wheelbarrow" was rife in a lot of industries, twenty years ago. By the sounds of it repairing anything is just not worth it now.

I have a Fluke, forgot what model but it is specifically designed for automotive work and I bought it locally at the Fluke shop. Was'nt cheap but Fluke is very good, some mine sites will only let you on with a Fluke.

Yeah I have nowhere near a the money for a Fluke though.

Just sold my Fluke on Ebay too...and my scope, soldering iron and everything else...

How's this for a grab for cash. Jaycar had the QM1577 scopemeter for $399 in last year's catologue, and it is $579 this year.

Get a nice Rigol 100Mhz scope for that money! Check here...

Emona are in Melbourne and usually have demo units. There are also places that hire gear if you want to try before you by. I can vouch for Rigol, couldn't fault them.

I found another basic unit by hantek, https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...&condition=new

Still battling along with the old crappy allsun. This hantek seems to get good reviews but ...
