Re: [TCML] Shinola meter, parts wanted or for free distribution -review

Well said Hank. That is exactly it's purpose. It was replaced with the 
"exact same" resistor as both Flukes were the same model and vintage 
(and I of course checked the resistors against each other to be sure). 
The point is that old meters that are dead are not necessarily useless. 
If you happen to favor a particular meter and kill it, then just buy the 
same meter again, but don't throw out the old meter. It may make a 
stupid mistake not such a big deal. Not in every case, but maybe at 
least once, you get to fix it since the processor is functioning correctly.

Regards,
Bart
