Seller accepted $30 offer for item originally listed at $80. Received different item in worse condition than pictured in listing, with damage that in no way could have happened in transit the way it was packaged. Contacted seller, was told it wasplike that when shipped, and to just return it for a refund. A better idea? Just send me the item I was lead to think I was buying initially and save everyone the hassle. My advice is to avoid this seller.

    No frills, just superb accuracy and speed

    My 33478a is at least 20 years old and works perfectly. Superb accuracy. There's no bells and whistles on these- you can measure AC/DC voltage and current, and resistance, and that's it. No math functions, memory, continuity, etc. But you can measure anything from 300V down to 100 -nano- Volts, with the autoranging settling in to the correct reading in under a second. I have handheld meters with lots more features, but nothing that matches the speed and ease of use of this precision instrument.

    Excellent value

    The display isn't great to read, but it's acceptable, and it's a high quality benchtop dmm. I recommend it with a caveat: if you're on a budget, it's a far better choice than a no-name meter with a sexy display and bad quality

  • HP 3478A Digital Multimeter

    Beautiful meter. Typical Hewlette Packard quality. May not be 'State of the Art' but this kind of measuring equipment is ageless. Just replace the calibration backup battery every 20 years or so and your good to go! Highly recommend for the technician's bench.

  • Good accurate meter, but...

    1st off check the battery, OK, tested some voltages, again, OK. Then I checked all my test leads to see if any would fit in the front pkanel jacks- no go. not a one of my test lead sets will seat in the jacks. Now I am searching for leads that will work. This is info that should be mentioned, with possibly a source listed for leads. I will alter this review when I have found leads, with a source.

  • Solid DVM Choice

    Older design DVM but still a solid bench-top performer. Arrived working correctly and within calibration. Excellent 4 wire ohms performance, good thermal stability. Newer color LED meters look prettier but the HP3478A is more likely to be working years from now.
