iz8dwf | Solartron/Enertec 7151 multimeter repair pt. 1. Scrap or repair? @iz8dwf | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 8 minutes ago.
I've got an Enertec/Solartron/Schlumberger 7151 "Computing Multimeter" on
ebay. Unfortunately I've discovered it had a few missing parts (and not so
easy to find ones).
In this video I try restoring at least all functionalities, so in the future I can
attempt to calibrate it and see if it still met its specifications.
