Hello,
Since the 27XT has been discontinued and replaced by the lesser 37XT, I 
figured I'd offer an alternative. The UNI-T UT70A has similar features.
Enjoy. http://www.tinytach-dot-com/unitmeterut70a.html

Hi Steve,

I believe the 27XT is no longer being produced and has been replaced by the
37XR. I don't know if it's the same meter or something altogether
different. However, the changeover wasn't all that long ago, so there
should still be new and used floating around. I just did a quick web search
and yes, they are still out there.

Here's a used 27XT for $50.00

Here's a new 27XT for 129.00

Here's another at eBay currently bid is $58.00 (1 day left)

So, their out there still.

Take care,
Bart
