I've got an older Fluke 12 that is REALLY cranky these days. I've got a newer 112 that is my main meter, but the old 12 sits in the workbox as a backup/secondary/whatever.

It still works, but only partially. The buttons don't really do anything, but the 2-position switch can at least get me enough of what I need, which is mostly AC voltage measurement.

Has anyone used a Fluke service center, or other repair place for their meter? And if so, any idea of ballpark cost? I know a new replacement would run close to $200, but since this is a backup I'm wondering if I should just use as-is and deal with it until it completely croaks, or if the repair is worth it.
