Will miracles never cease! I never thought I would see the day a Fluke instrument would be that cheap. I figured that being a Fluke would have been $350 to $450 dollars. Thanks for the info on this Rich,

ur welcome


I may just get one of these myself! The model 65 is only $289 and has memory with temp conversion. The 61 is really all ones needs without getting extras. That would come in handy around the house checking for heat or cooling leaks around windows and doors. I would like this for not only checking tube temperatures but the temps on transformer coils and cores.

Rob,
I think, but may be wrong, that Rich was referring to those hand held IR temperature meters. Some even show a negative image on a small display of what they're being pointed at with the hot spots in red or yellow and the cold in blue. The colors denote the temperatures in celsius.

I did not even know about these. How much are they?


The Fluke Model 61 is $109. It shines a laser beam where it is measuring the temp.

 If they are
designed to connect by wire to a sensor that can be placed in the
rf deck area it might be worth it to have one dedicated to monitoring
the temp.

- In the 21st century, the best way to determine if seal cooling is adequate is with an IR digital thermometer. If I spring for one, it will be a Fluke. With a name like that, it has to be pretty well engineered.
