I need a probe for this meter. Does anyone have one taking up space
that they would like to part with . If not any ideas as to where I
might find one would be most sincerely appreciated. Lenny Stein,
Barlen Electronics.

Since you're using google groups, Perhaps you should use Google web
search to find out where to obtain one. This is a repair newsgroup,
for asking questions about current repairs, NOT a panhandlers' group.

if you post here again will receive an email
with contents of your abuse.

Lenny was polite about it while you seem to be a self-proclaimed
keeper of usenet as you see it. Google is here. Sorry you don't like
it. I assume I will be reported as well. Have a nice day.

I wasn't panhandling. I was just asking for a bit of help. I've been a
member of this group since my 486 days, and I have never abused it.
Its very easy for a coward to call someone an abuser when they can't
do it in person isn't it? Just a little advice: if you can't help or
say something nice then why don't you just shut up? Who the hell made
you the boss of the airwaves anyway? Lenny Stein, Barlen Electronics.

That counts for all of us Lynn, and as we are with much more then you i
suggest you sit in a corner and slowly f**k yourself.
If you have the urge to continue trolling then bear in mind that i may
like to respond

Lenny, here is a link to the manual in Dejavu format.
ftp://bama.sbc.edu/downloads/rca/wv98c/

There is nothing special about the probe, other than the 1M resistor
across the AC/DC switch. Like the old Heathkit, and other VTVMs, the 1M
1% resistor is used for DC measurements to provide isolation. It was
shunted out for AC and Ohms measurements.


In a pinch, you can use a regular probe, and a phone tip jack with
the resistor to slip on the end of the probe. Some people just make two
probes, and use the one they need.



http://bama.sbc.edu/viewers.htm if you need the veiwer software.

Thanks Michael. I actually did end up making two probes with RG58
cable and spare mic connectors I had. Thanks for the links. Lenny.

You're welcome. BTW: The last WV98C I owned, had carbon tracking on
the range switch. I had to cut away part of the wafer, and use epoxy to
hold the good pieces together. I don't give up, very often! ;-)
