A friend in town (W7TOM) just bought an HP 3478A, and we were both very
favorably impressed by it.
The 3478A is certainly a nice meter, but I have a hard time getting my
bench lighting right so LCDs are readable without too much light falling
on the scopes. Too bad it doesn't have a backlit display.
My personal favorite DMM is a Solartron 7060, but it's a lot larger than a
3478A.
