Test leads for old analog VOM multimeters
« on: August 30, 2023, 02:36:55 pm »
I've got a number of old VOM multimeters I'd like to make usable again and they use the pin style leads like shown in the attached pic as opposed to banana plugs that modern meters use.

Is there a source for these kinds of leads? Would also appreciate hearing about any DIY ideas.

I believe those are 2mm pins, and if so they would be compatible with 2mm banana plugs or adapters like Pomona 72914-02

I have a similar Micronta on the bench for repair (my first ever multimeter), so if I remember tomorrow I can check if any of my 2mm banana plugs fit.

I think those are .080" pin plugs, Probemaster has lead available with those ends, p/n 8019S.

A 3.5 digit 4.5 digit 5 digit 5.5 digit 6.5 digit 7.5 digit DMM is good enough for most people.

I just purchased some from this guy eBay auction: #https://www.ebay.com/itm/232638459213

Can't get much better quality. I'm very happy with them.  ;D

That link doesn't work, but this one should.
