If you have a local hi-fi shop and want to save some money they should be able to order a digital multi-meter for you. THey should be able to get you the same thing that Lowes has for about half the price. The digital meters are so cheap now that you might as well go with a digital. The analog meters work fine though. Try to get one that has an audible continuity indicator feature. This can be useful. If you want a real fancy one like the electricians use you can drop big bucks on a whiz-bang-do-everything-under-the-sun meter from a wholesale electronics supply store.
recommendation for volt ohm meter
I need to acquire a volt ohm meter to bias a tube amp. The range I need is between 75 & 100 mA. Where & what should I buy? (digital, analog?) I have a Radio Shack in town, would something from there be accurate enough & how much do I have to spend to get something decent?
Thanks for any recommendations.

I agree with those who suggest a digital Volt-Ohm meter. Here is a link to those at Radio Shack (since you mentioned them). Multimeter The little yellow multimeter with the giant display looks easy to use and is only $19.95. I would not be afraid to use it to bias my tube amps. |
