For one who has the time but is low on funds ... how does one fix those
strings of Christmas tree / colored lights that have the bulbs in series -
presumably, if one bulb blows they all get knocked out? I have a
multimeter and several non-working strings (so hopefully there are plenty
of spare light bulbs).

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Henry

Divide string in half by removing center bulb - check for continuity to one
end of the cord. Repeat as necessary by dividing and checking each bad half
of the remaining strings. 5 tests + confirmation of the bad bulb checks a
string of 100. Dave

Eight, nine hours you should have it all checked.
