I believe this multimeter is manufactured by Nishizawa Electric Meters Manufacturing (西澤電機計器製作所). They still manufacture a 50kOhm/V analog multimeter (Model 3009). They manufactured 100kOhm/V meters (Model 3010) until recently, but now discontinued...
Those were the days... Remember: This style of devices were used to build the rocket for the flight to the moon. I´m simply curious: Does this Multimeter still don´t need batteries for measuring a voltage (only for resistance and so on)?
Correct...batteries are only required for the resistance measurements. Not needed for Voltage or mA. 🙂👍 So true about the moon..we've certainly come a long way !
Doubt it. You can easily buy a second-hand Micronta, Chauvin/Metrix, Goerz/Gossen Unigors, Norma/Siemens high-end analog multimeters with 100 kOhm/V for a fraction of price. For collectors Simpson,Triplett, ICE Supertester along with old Hioki, Sanwa models. Rare are only transistor FET analog portable multimeters.
@@TheGrantourismo In my experience a second hand Chauvin or Metrix will set you back much more than this new Hioki.. Gossen is almost impossible to find. Micronta is abundant but not nearly as accurate *at least not the two I have.
Taut band meters have better repeatability than its jewel-pivot suspension sibling. They are also more robust. So in a nutshell, ruggedness and lack of jewel-pivot "lag" are the advantages of the Taut band meter.
I know the good reputation of Hioki but their multimeters are not affordable for me. Thanks for the review. I have the Mastech MS8268, what do you think of it ?
I have same unit of that but i can't trace the smd resistor value, because the 4 resistor are burnt out. Can you help me to get the resistor value.? Thank you!
A very cheap analog meter with only 20kohm/volt (My best one had 100kohm/volt, but that was a long time ago). What is very interesting is how well it handles overload, i.e. set it in the lowest voltage range and put the plugs into a mains outlet (It will probably let out the magic smoke). I would not have accepted that quality 40 years ago. Sorry I do not like analog meters anymore, event though I have used them a lot 40 years ago. They can be useful for a few applications (Low input impedance, no RMS and low precision), but for more general usage a digital meter wins.
I appreciate the honesty Henrik ..not everyone's cup of tea for sure..still I find analog useful at times and this Hioki should serve a niche number of users. 👍

Great info ! I was originally told by Hioki that this unit is manufactured by Hioki Japan. I'll see if I can get more details.
Always love that Japanese quality, even in a fairly simple analog device the quality and accuracy are visible throughout especially on the SMD board.
Oh yea! This one is a treat..simplicity combined with accuracy and build quality 👌
Nice to see that a big brand like Hioki is still making analog meters with quality. Those silicone leads are beautiful too. 😍
Those Hioki leads are really nice! 🔥

I like this analog meter... Analog meter is still worthy to troubleshooters
Totally! I use analog meters all the time..Great instruments with lots of uses. 👍
There’s nothing better for adjusting, tuning, or peaking a curcuit
Same..still using analog meter..my lovely sanwa yx360trf
Those who buy analog multimeters nowadays .... would definitely be buying this.
It's found a home on my bench. I love everything about this meter. The display is really top notch too.
@@KeepOnTesting so nice of you ☺️

Analogue meters are sensitive to impacts, i thought jeweled once more so than taugt band ?

Analog meter has voltage output in ohm range.. so for many electric troubleshooter analog meter still have importance
Great review, surprising the amount of analogue instrumentation still being produced today. This one really is missing that parallax mirror though.
So true ! The absence of the parallax mirror is a downer ..otherwise great piece of gear !
Never really understood why the lowest mA range and lowest volt range are shared on these kinds of meters, my old Sears meter has that too
Its only x1 k unlike sanwa up to x100 k ohmeter range,and volt meter ac/ dc hioke 600 v while sanwa up to 1000 v dc and 750 ac

MASTECH MS8268 is a classic well rounded and capable multimeter! I need to do a review on it!
Very interesting Darren, Something different to think about but sadly won't be taking it to work on a daily basis 😕
Hey Derek, It's a nice addition but definitely not a replacement for most people.
Can I get the schematic diagram of this hioki tester
I don't have a schematic. I doubt Hioki would release one either.
I have same unit of that but i can't trace the smd resistor value, because the 4 resistor are burnt out. Can you help me to get the resistor value.? Thank you!
sure thing..I'll give you the values shortly.( 1-2 hrs) 👍
@jomsmartin8048 can you email me: netplicity1@gmail.com
In my opinión with acustic continuity and a small red led was great
Oh that would have been awesome ! Audible continuity with an analog meter is sweeet! Add that luminous led and you're all set !😊

What's the cheapest of cheapos that has a fast continuity mode?
INFURIDER YF-36K CHEAP-O Multimeter answers that question! Incredibly fast, LOUD and latched!! ruclips.net/video/Bw3XAeJ0C84/видео.html
1.6 volts ???? :D
Harganya berapa
analog to smart how to
Heh I really can't wait to see what happens to that SP20D now
Yes...drumroll please !! 🙂👍
Nice
👍
🙂👍
Likely a jis screw, not Phillips. Do yourself a favor and get a jis set to protect those Japanese screw heads.
I've got a VESSEL TD-56S 6 pc JIS set. Top notch 👌
Buy in 1998
Wow...it's been around for awhile..Great meters never age 👍
