Just for revenge! :)

Oh, the price-performance of that meter is excellent, 5 Euro, includuing battery: ftp://panteltje.com/pub/cheap_meter.jpg ftp://panteltje.com/pub/cheap_meter_inside.jpg For that money you also get a beta test for NPN and PNP, and a beeper to test continuity. I cannot possibly make it for that. Oh, and you get a soldered fuse too :-) Next time you need a beeper or battery just buy one of these meters :-) I am happy with it :-)

I bought a couple of these for $3 when they were on sale. http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/itemdisplay/displayItem.do?itemid=90899

No I did not, what gave you that idea? The wires of the probe broke of after a few times though, I have bought a set of test-leasd that is more expensive then this meter :-) I also fixed the old ones. >I bought a couple of these for $3 when they were on sale. > >http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/itemdisplay/displayItem.do?itemid=908= >99 Nice, mine has a 100 Hz (IIRC) signal generator too (square wave). Actually a neat feature if you want to test audio amps :-)

I once had one of those. After a few months, some copper strands in the leads had not just broken, but also worked their way through the insulation (if that's what you could call it). I was lucky enough not to be measuring a 500 volt plate voltage at the moment that I felt the copper poking through. Richard Rasker -- http://www.linetec.nl |
