There's a bi-monthly swap meet near me for computer

I agree. I use mine all the time, but the contacts inside
are wearing out. Where would you find an inexpensive new
analog meter? Do they even make them anymore?

A half decent DVM will have a a bargraph to mimic a needle movement.


A decent DVM won't have a bargraph to annoy you.

Fluke meters have a bar graph and I find it usefull.


God for you. I never have. BTW, it's spelled useful, with one 'l'.


And Good is spelled with two "O"s
