DMM acting flaky
I've got a Rat Shack (micronta) 22-174B that I use for my hobby, which
is building guitar effect pedals. It's a cheap unit, but it's got the functions that I need, such as a capacitance meter, hfe, etc. Anyhow, I can't get good ohm resistance readings at all anymore. It is way off. And the continuity tester beeps if I hold both a lead in each hand. I put in fresh batteries, the internal fuses are good, etc. Anyone has an idea? |

Peobably some of its referencing resistors are blown. Maybe someone put
aome voltage through the meter while it was in the ohms mode. You will most likely need the service manual for the meter in order to service it. You will also need the parts source for the meter's parts. These resistors are generaly precision resistors. Using regular off the shelf ones would not be accurate. Jerry G. |

Thanks for the reply, I'm trying to find a schematic and parts source
for it, wouldn't you know, the Rat Shack is of little help. |
