  I recently threw away my old analog Radio Shack VOM. It served me well for 5 or 6 decades. I replaced it with a Klein digital but I don't like digital VOMs because they display non-zero values when there shouldn't be any voltage present.

  @LovingFalloutLondon1954 @jztusk Good stuff. My first meter was actually the Archer kit. Lasted several years until I did something stupid with it.

  Was it by testing resistance by putting it in parallel with a car battery? Because that's what 10 year old me did.
