Hi folks,
I have just come into a Fluke 190 Scopemeter that has sat idle and was put up for a few years. Everything looks to be in excellent physical condition including probes and leads. After reconditioning the battery, the unit came right up and seems to hold a good charge.
The VOM functions all work fine, but the scope functions seem to flatline. An Attempt to trim the probes to the build in square wave generator was dysfunctional, even though I can read proper voltage there with an alternate VOM.
I have been away from component level diagnostics for a few decades and even though I felt comfortable finding my way around this unit, I am not familiar with the particulars of this unit. My initial thought is that it is in need of repairs.
So I have 2 questions. First...anyone here familiar enough with these to confirm or deny my thoughts on the condition of this unit. And secondly, any suggestions on a decent repair facility that might be able to get this thing back in the groove?
Thanks much.
