By the way, is that a Simpson model 260 back there on your bench. That used to be my second right hand many years ago. A fantastic meter that has many advantages over a more modern digital meter.

I did, Bill. I get stuff like that from the same place I get all my boat building supplies; Jamestown Distributors, In RI.
I have had several 260s over the years, and found a series 8 in a pawn shop 2 years ago. Much as I wanted to keep it, I gave it to my son. I have a couple different Flukes (88 variants) and they are OK, if you only want a here-and-now answer, but nothing beats a good analog like the Tripplet or the 260 for getting the full story. Digitals are useless if you're trying to diagnose and electronic ignition.
