Hate to give up on it but don't want to spend a lot of time on it either, I do have other meters but wanted a VTVM for those situations that demand one.
I'm probably better off finding an old Simpson.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I do have an old Military VTVM that still works, it's a TS-505D/U I think, built like a Tank!
