MN I found an old Fluke 37 meter which appears dead. Some initial

MN no repair manual for it. Any pointers, links or help in some way?
MN Digital isn't really my bag but with a bit more info I could perhaps
MN troubleshoot it. Fluke doesn't list it on their site anymore, so no
MN luck there.
MN Thanks for any help.

I seem to remember something about an issue with the displays on these old
flukes going bad (Loss of contrast) something to do with the actual liquid
crystal . Shine a light on the display and see if you can make out a
reading.

With best regards, 3T39. E-mail:
Good point, the Fluke 87 LCD is no longer made - BUT when they repaired
mine - they replaced it (and its backlight) with the current LCD used in the
87 Series V

The new display is better than the original -- Crisp easy to read.

a-fluke has an eBay store, for a number of Fluke items

Better yet, call or e-mail Fluke.
Ask for Jim in Fluke's Service Center -- Everett, WA -- should be able to
address your Fluke 37 request.
