Hmmm. Fluke colors. Maybe it’s a Fluke on the inside at a fraction of the cost.

radio shack did used to buy and rebrand high quality products, it is possible, realistic music equipment was mainly made by casio.

Some folks on the EEVBlog forums found out that it's a rebranded Metex ME-11
I do wonder if RadioShack got in trouble for the color, Sparkfun had some budget multimeters seized at customs for violating Fluke's yellow trademark

It'll probably last longer than RadioShack itself.

They still exist today as a e-commerce seller. And was founded 100 years ago. Don’t know I plastic will make it 100 years…

This was my favorite toy as a child! I would frequently sit in his workroom playing with it while he worked on some project.

I had a Radio Shack multimeter too! Sadly it died last year after 35 years.

Pfft, my Dad's multimeter is made out of Bakelite and is still going strong. It was handed down to him from his Dad - if you don't know what Bakelite is look it up to see how old this thing is.
