A simple glavanometer type, not digital, multimeter is all that is needed and you can get one at Radio Shack for probably under $25. It's how you use the meter that's more important than it's feature

I've had a Radio Shack multi-meter for longer than I can remember. It's general purpose - AC/DC, Ohms, microamps and some other features that I never bothered to figure out. These are also referred

You need dwell, tach and a low ohms range of about 10 ohms as well as the usual voltage ranges. Personally I don't have much use for current ranges, it is all to easy to damage the instrument. Digita

All good answers on the multimeter. Big thing is get one. The digital hunting around is an annoyance. It can also be hard to read the LCD numbers in certain lite conditions. But a digital with its on

I have found it very useful to have a multimeter that can handle 10A when it comes to checking your charging system. Mark 73 MGB GT My new 68B has several electrical problems that I need to correct.

I have a DMM from Radio Shack that fits in your pocket, has an audio continuity function and has an auto shut-off for guys (like me) who forget to turn it off. Cost about $24. CR

I am an electrical engineer so I have used the Ohm Meter/Avometer whatever a few times. I personally prefer the non-digital one. It is more forgiving, does not rely on batteries and less fussy. Rega

An analog meter can work without a batter if it's not a high impedance one, and if you don't use the resistance scales. (ie: only voltage and current) -- Trevor Boicey, P. Eng. Ottawa, Canada, tboice

I have not changed the battery for 15 - 20 years !! If you do not want accuracy the battery will give enough to make the needle move so you know you have continuity. Measuring the resistance is not r

Agree fully. Also being an electrical engineer and having both versions - AVO meter especially works better with variants in voltage and resistance. Cheers Hans Frank, I am an electrical engineer so

The standard AVOmeters are powered by the voltage or current which is Only when measuring resistance power of battries is used. Disadvantage of this is the meter makes a load for the measured voltage
