Steve,
You answered my next question in advance!{:-) I am going to buy a couple of 
really inexpensive VOM's. They also come in handy for other things that 
digital meters aren't good for, like watching a cap charge up. I don't 
think there is much reason to buy an expensive analog meter is there. Regards.
Paul
