The Russian multimeter is a beauty. I was not expecting some quality point to point wiring when he opened it. The Sinclair, not so much.
Dave did make me feel better about my antiquated multimeter since he was raving about his first being an RS and gave him years of service. Mine is a Radio Shack (Micronta) 22-211A. I'm guessing I've had it since around '94/95, so it's served me well since I've never had an issue with it. It's always been for low V/A use, so I' guessing that's probably helped. It was a one of the nicer meters RS had back in the day.
