I have an old Radio Shack multi meter, 22-166A. I talked to Radio Shack
about betting it fixed, and they said that for something this old I'm
pretty much out of luck. Does anyone here know of a source of parts and
repair for old Radio Shack equipment?

Hi,
RS never sold a meter worth fixing.


RS hasn't sold much of *anything* worth fixing for a very long time. I
stopped buying Radio Shack products years ago because I got tired of them
breaking or otherwise going bad. A long time ago Made In Japan products used
to have a bad reputation (ok, I'm dating myself). Now it's the made in China
stuff, which is just about everything in Radio Shack, is even worse.

I took the thing apart, and found two pots I need to check. I have a
half-dozen meters already, so I think I'll put this back on a shelf with the
rest of the stuff I don't have time to sort through.
