1994 RCA VR528 blows fuses

Yeah, that's the thing, mine doesn't have the OL. Mine just shows a 1 off to the left and if I get a reading, it's 3 or 4 numbers to the right. Both show a reading one way and just the 1 in the other direction

I have no idea what that post means. Likely because I'm not familiar with the brand/type/model of meter you're using.

I can tell you that diodes typically short; they don't open.

It's just a $15 cheapo from Walmart I bought a few years ago. I'll take pics of the readings so you can see

This sounds very much like good diodes - conducting one way and open circuit (resistance out of range on your meter) the other way.
Is the reading "1" what you get with the meter disconnected from everything?

Thank you for chiming in there, OTN!

So, if the "1" he sees actually means no continuity then, pac, 1) what is the "reading" you are getting in the other direction on those two diodes? Exactly?

And, at the risk of going too far too fast, 2) what do you get when you check the other four diodes nearby: DP001, 002, 003 and 004?

Yes, with leads on nothing shows a 1 on the left.
