Here's a how-to video that shows how I replaced the meter movement in a Simpson 260 multimeter. I picked up this 260 at a hamfest recently, and found that the meter movement itself was damaged. My friend Dave, K2ULF, had an old 260 laying around whose meter movement was in good shape but the board was corroded. He generously donated the meter to me to use as a "donor" for the meter movement. I really like using analog meters when working on equipment or circuits that I am fine tuning or adjusting. Following the meter movement up or down is a lot easier (for me) to see than trying to watch a set of flickering digits on a DMM. While some DMMs have bar graph displays, they lack the resolution of an analog movement, and the DMM autorange disrupts the linear movement of the bar graph.
