Will miracles never cease! I never thought I would see the day a Fluke
instrument would be that cheap. I figured that being a Fluke would have
been $350 to $450 dollars. Thanks for the info on this Rich, I may just
get one of these myself! The model 65 is only $289 and has memory with
temp conversion. The 61 is really all ones needs without getting extras.
That would come in handy around the house checking for heat or cooling
leaks around windows and doors. I would like this for not only checking
tube temperatures but the temps on transformer coils and cores.

Rob,
I think, but may be wrong, that Rich was referring to those hand held
IR temperature meters. Some even show a negative image on a small
display of what they're being pointed at with the hot spots in red or
yellow and the cold in blue. The colors denote the temperatures in
celsius.

I did not even know about these. How much are they?
The Fluke Model 61 is $109. It shines a laser beam where it is
measuring the temp.

If they are
designed to connect by wire to a sensor that can be placed in the
rf deck area it might be worth it to have one dedicated to monitoring
the temp.

- In the 21st century, the best way to determine if seal cooling is
adequate is with an IR digital thermometer. If I spring for one, it
will be a Fluke. With a name like that, it has to be pretty well
engineered.
