Lenny, here is a link to the manual in Dejavu format.ftp://bama.sbc.edu/downloads/rca/wv98c/

There is nothing special about the probe, other than the 1M resistor
across the AC/DC switch. Like the old Heathkit, and other VTVMs, the 1M
1% resistor is used for DC measurements to provide isolation. It was
shunted out for AC and Ohms measurements.

In a pinch, you can use a regular probe, and a phone tip jack with
the resistor to slip on the end of the probe. Some people just make two
probes, and use the one they need.

Thanks Michael. I actually did end up making two probes with RG58
cable and spare mic connectors I had. Thanks for the links. Lenny.
