Post by: birrbert on May 19, 2012, 06:42:59 AM: Hello Forum, hello Martin!

My favorite multimeter - based on a review, but unfortunately haven't tried it yet - is the Brymen BM867. If that doesn't count then my real favorite multimeter is the Mastech M-830B, because that's the one I use and know well.

Name: Róbert Biró.
Country and city: Romania, Csíkszereda (officially Miercurea Ciuc).

Nice effort! Cheers! :)

aw, not really. Look at ebay. Sometimes you can catch an used one, in very good condition, for around $US 200.

Post by: Barryg41 on July 09, 2012, 07:46:51 PM: Hi all, I just got back from holiday and I am just getting the fist real chance to say thanks to Martin for having this contest. Winning is always great! But I know that a lot of time and effort was put into this dmm ref check. I have followed each and every video that Martin has produced. I never believed that I would win but I was learning so much, it is such a good feeling to know what is in that little black box and how it works.

Thanks again Martin! 8)

Well done me! :)

I will certainly be able to use this, as I was planning on getting a new multimeter, preferably with data logging anyway.

I'm not doing too badly with winning stuff. Last year I won the raffle at the local Co-Op, this year I win a multimeter. Maybe next year I should buy a lottery ticket.

Thanks Martin.

Post by: steve30 on July 03, 2014, 10:58:17 AM: Well, I didn't buy a lottery ticket in 2013, and hence I didn't win anything :(. Didn't this year either.
