Fluke 8024A, repair or replace?

My old Fluke 8024A thinks a charged NIIMH cell (1.2V) is supplying

15V, and a near-dead 9V batt is at 52V (!)=20 Their new DMM's are priced a biit too high for me.. =20

Does anyone have an idea what Fluke charges to fix these old meters? =20

Any suggestions on a good replacement (under $100) that might have some additional featues?

They probably won't fix it at all. They ran a promotion about 2 years ago that gave you a nice discount for trading in an 8024 (now discontinued), but that expired. I think the 8024 came out in about 1978, so that model is about 25 years old by now! However, if you call their service center (check their web site for the number, depending on your geography) they will be very pleased to discuss repairs. In general, repair rates for current products aren't bad, obsolescent products are high, and obsolete products are on par with replacement.

and pick out something you like. In general you get what you pay for, and you can get a new Fluke comparable to yours for about $120, but if you want to stay below $100 there are many, many choices.
