content: Hey guys quick question: I know that the yellow protective pouch can be purchased separately, but what about the grey plastic top shell itself? If yes, where can I source one?

content: If you can't find it, just give your local Fluke center a call. They can help you out with part numbers and suppliers. I did multiple times.

content: The last time I called Fluke, they told me they did no parts research. (Front cover for 87V, Button assy, etc.) If you have a part number, they will tell you availability and price, but that's it.Even when they sent me the wrong part (looks like they put the 85 button assys in the bin for the 87) they refused to look into it. "We can send you another, if that one's bad." I tried to explain that the 87 had a backlight button, but the part they sent did not. (despite being in a package with the correct p/n.) The person was having none of it. "We don't do parts research anymore."About 15 years ago, it was a different story.
