The Sabtronics 2010A DVM Part 2: Parts and documentation.
The Sabtronics 2010A DVM presented earlier is fully operational, sans a bad display element. Those displays, The Fairchild FND357, are generally only available as old stock - but they are available. I found a seller with some reasonable prices online and made a purchase:
I bought a handful just in case. These will be stored with the unit while I finish up some other things.
In the meantime, I dug the original shipping box and literature out of storage. While it looks like some of the literature is just looseleaf copied from a different model, I do have the original manual for the 2010A. I’ve scanned some of the documentation, and will scan the actual manual when I have the chance. Here’s the docs - they look like information for an earlier device: https://wereboar.com … 0Information.pdf.zip. These are also included in the January 2026 archive zip, if you’ve downloaded that.
There was some other literature in the box, including invoices. Here’s all of those shots:
These must have been popular - this guy’s order was delayed somehwhat. But, for $90 ($430 on 12/2025) these were cheaper than many alternatives, and fully within hobby pricing.
I will get to the display replacement as soon as possible, stay tuned!
