I have a Fluke 73 multimeter that looks like a 9v battery leaked at
some stage and the probe sockets have oxidized. I cannot get an
accurate reading anymore with known good test leads. Is there
anything I can do to fix this? Especially a cheap fix.


Cut the plugs off and solder directly onto the board, no ammeter function
though. Or make up some sort of extender with in-line sockets and again
soldered directly into the innards.

Are you sure it is socket problems and not switch problem ?
