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?


35 posts and no one mentioned bad leads. They're the most likely part of
a meter to fail. Did you ohm them out with another meter?


Yah. I did the broken-meter 101 stuff like using known good leads and known
good batteries, etc.

Actually, someone did mention bad leads, and new batteries, none of which
helped.
