There aren't many "something else" choices around here. I have a 50-year old Triplett multimeter, a flea market item that seemed to work when I briefly tried it with voltage and resistance. If I can scrounge a pair of probes that fit, maybe it's worth a try.

I didn't know you're supposed to bypass the meter leads with a .1 uf cap <blush>. Do you mean connect the cap between the cathode and ground, and then touch the meter leads to the cap leads?
