[Test-Equipment] Parts for Fluke 87?

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi Howard:

It's free from Fluke directly.  See the message from jbarnes 3:26 am today 
under same subject for directions to  it.

If you do get it to work would you please tell me what they did to mess it up 
so badly?
-------------
PS:
R43 (1k to ground from the ma jack) appeared to be shorted, but after removing 
it the resistor tested fine, but the two PCB holes showed short.

Removed U1 the diode bridge and still the short stays with the PCB.
Probing some of the nearby (schematic) transistors shows some with one junction 
shorted but that's not likely so there's probably a nearby part that's the real 
short.

Have Fun,

Brooke Clarke
