I found out something very interesting in that link that jr_tech gave me. It seems that the D cells for the resistance functions are positively grounded. A person on that forum was having some of the same issues as I am having, being the meter slamming to the left in various functions. His was doing it supposedly in all functions. Mine only in certain ones; most particularly the +DC. It doesn't like that one at all!

Anyway, supposedly the schematic verifies the positive ground on the D cells. I was wondering why there was no indication of polarity anywhere. Heck, you would think that they would be even more inclined to indicate polarity in a reverse polarity application. I don't have the meter here with me, but I will give this a try as soon as I can and update the results. Hopefully they will be good results!
