I was fortunate to grab one of these a few years ago off of someone who was selling one online I got it for a great price it was $125 used and it worked great such a killer tool!

Wow - that was fortunate! And it was in great shape? I spent a lot more and with the repair it wasn't worth it. But it is the best meter Fluke ever made IMHO;)

This, and other videos about the 189, inspired me to look for one. I’m about to pull the trigger on an 189 that looks mint from a specialized reseller. But now I’m second guessing if a 23ish y/o dmm would be a good choice as daily driver for a starting audio electronics repair business. Would love to hear your opinion.

Great question! For one thing it is a risk - as there is no warranty and it is expensive - and there could be problems with used meters. I found one with mine. Have you seen that repair video? I love my Hioki DT4282, here's a link for the DT4281 which is on sale and a pretty good price for a high end meter: amzn.to/469p1Pm

But the 189 does have logging, and it has the added increment feature in logging, so I think it has everything the 187 does - but does it better:) Almost the same meter - both better than an 87V IMHO.

Great question! No - is the simple answer IMHO. I don't know of a single model that I can't find something better for lower cost. And any descent Meter will last. Here's an example of a fantastic meter that is built tought at a comparably very low cost and is safety certified. amzn.to/45O6V4P

Thanks for your feedback! I personally hate my 289 - especially given the extremely high price. I keep it only because of this channel - well, and that's why I purchased it in the first place. I used to be a Fluke fan, but now that I have this channel I've had a chance to try so many new meters that I like so much better (vs the 16 year old 289).

Yes it is such an old design. I feel like Fluke has hung its business tile on the 87 - so long as people keep buying it without thought. They make such a killing on it and the super expensive 289 - why rock the boat. Any new meter that they would have to come up with at those prices would make them look like dinosaurs. IMHO
