content: I was cleaning and servicing a old Fluke and there was a flyer in the case from 1985, I thought maybe some guys would like this, if they collect old Flukes or want to know part numbers, so I made some scans.I will put the Fluke part numbers just under the scans so it’s makes easy to search on the forum.Keywords:TL70 Y8132 AC70 Y8140 Y8134 C71 Y8105 C86 Y8205 C70 C25 C90 C20 80T-H A8180TK 80PK-1 80PK-2 80PK-3 80T-150 Y8102 Y8103 80T-SP Y8104Y8101 80i-400 80i-600 Y8100 80J-10 80K-6 80K-40 85-RF 83RF

content: Oh, those brochures brings back memories. This was before color LCD displays in oscilloscopes. Oscilloscopes were still made in the U.S.A. I had a Fluke 8060A, which costs as much as a Rigol 1052E, and the Fluke 8060A was a multimeter, a portable version of the bench Fluke 8050A. All the Fluke instruments included a detailed service and repair manual and parts lists and where to get those parts. Something changed during the dot com era in the 1990s. I graduated from electronics school. Fluke ceased including detailed service and repair manual and parts lists with their instruments. They included a simplified, elementary school like owners manual in the most popular languages around the world. It has no repair manual or parts lists. The recently broken Fluke 12 has no repair or parts documentation, but a stupid instruction manual, the same important from electronics school introduction class. The new Fluke manuals are almost worth less. The Fluke 8060A broke. The Fluke 12 broke and will be replaced by Fluke 117. Thanks for posting these brochures, bring back memories.

content: Lawsen, indeed those where the days when a manufacturer care about their customers.I have a Fluke 8024B in mint shape with couple of those accessories from the flyer and the original “Instruction manual” and everything is in there, like the PCB layout and all parts also calibration information, it is just great, I wish manufacturers keep doing that.

content: Thank you for your generosity in sharing all of this! I really appreciate when folks convert the old analog to digital so it won't vanish.Lawsen, the 8060A is STILL my favorite multimeter. It's so brittle it is really only for bench use. Still, it is amazingly accurate, even by today's standards. If you still have that meter, the service manual is easily available online. I have a parts meter if you need something. A lot of people complain about the buttons vs the rotating knob on newer meters (I agree knob is better), but it is a good tradeoff for the clean display and great features of that meter.
