I wish there was something like DigiKey with a retail presence but sadly its the best we've got these days - and at least its not amazon!

+1 for DigiKey.

Yup-- sadly, there is no market :( We're a dying breed. If I stood on a street corner & offered $1,000 to the first person who could use a Fluke multimeter to test a capacitor, I'm not sure how many days it would take to give away that money.

If I used a Harbor Freight multimeter and Google to make sure I have my settings right does that qualify me for the $1,000? (I'm more of a wrench turner but I've had enough electrical faults with my vehicles to need it occasionally)
