Very nice !  I seem to remember some collectors being interested in finding the joystick version, so this is certainly very useful!

Great job elgen ! i really enjoy reading your repair logs !

While reading your website yesterday at work (during lunch time ), i was on your fluke 9010 mod page. Being in a medical company who do radiography table for hospital for more than 20 years, one of my collegue says "hey i know that device!". So i started talking to him about our hobby and how it's useful for pcb repairs .

And this morning, when i arrived on my desk, i saw a flyer on my keyboard ! my colleague found a boxed 9010a with another box full of cables!!! Unfortunatly only one pod (8085)
anyway, it was a great surprise , i really do love my job )

That's awesome...it's a great tool };-P
Should there be more that 1 probe or maby more than 1 of the module depicted, I could be interested in buying some of it };-P

i need to check with the company's inventory manager first, if i really can have it ( i don't think , there'll be problems , it's not used anymore).
If there's double pods, or modules, i'll happily surrender them to you for only the postage price, i don't see myself selling stuff i got for free , specialy, it's thanks to your site , i'd have them

[Elgen]

I'm honoured! Really };-P

And thnx for the kind words...

Another great job, well done!
I also have an original working trackball version and a non-working boot, perfect candidates for this mod.

And thnx for the kind words...

i received the fluke , unfortunatly nothing in double , just the device boxed , manuals, probe , 8085 probe and a NOS spare rs232kit (and 2 nos tape)

Cool, the tape drive might actually still be working then...awesome...

Cool, the tape drive might actually still be working then...awesome...

i can tell, it was barely used , as they told me they bought the fluke in 1988 to spend some budget left , but as the cpu needed to be soldered and not socketed on our pcb, the fluke was pretty useless

[Elgen]

Nice...It's a real gem. The RS232-kit is very expensive, should one buy it... and the probe is extremely cool to have. I'm thinking about building one myself (the schematics is in the manual)...
