Reviving a Radio Shack Digital Multimeter
Saturday, December 10th, 2005I have a nice Radio Shack Digital Multimeter (DMM) that I use for troubleshooting my arcade games or the various projects I’m working on. If you are looking for a decent DMM that you don’t want to spend a lot of money on because you sometimes fry them, Radio Shack is the way to go.
I was troubleshooting one of my arcade games when I accidentally had the DMM set to “continuity” when probing AC voltage. D’oh! The DMM would still display some numbers but not measure voltage. Selecting the continuity function would always register “Short.” I was lucky — I had blown a fuse in the DMM.
