Analog multimeter with a overvoltage syndrome, from fleamarket.

When you go to remove the battery and the compartment comes off. It is like a joke from a cartoon.

[@AIexanderHartdegen]

Yes, it's hilarious. Hopefully, because this video is not dramatic.

A work of love, from which you gained some knowledge...

glad if you like it. Thanks for nice commenting.

Who else not surprised at all when you saw that corroded battery? I would have bet $100 that their was a corroded battery in there before he opened it.

[@AIexanderHartdegen]

I think nobody was attempting something with that multimeter since few years.

can u try to fix it or its just not worth it ?

[@AIexanderHartdegen]

I was stopped by this unknown resistor network. A lot of search and nothing about it, even schematic didn't help at this point. The idea is to build a new resistor network by analysing needle span and voltage injection, each resistor working with the other when using higher caliber. It's on standby for the moment, searching between replacement part or recreating it. Thanks for watching.

@@AIexanderHartdegen well it sounds like a nice idea u can search for the diagram of the meter if u could find any i will try too keep uploading king

You get what you pay for.

As your comment.

can I fix my old digital mutimeter damaged by EMP? and please make a video about how to make a tesla coil

[@AIexanderHartdegen]

what kind or brand is you multimeter

[@tr_2sc1970]

I have the same one

[@AIexanderHartdegen]

it's a very nice multimeter, when working.

@@AIexanderHartdegen Once a Voelkner Electronic shop in Germany closed 1991 and started selling things so cheap, I bought two of these, the one has the shunt protection diode (like a varistor) defect I could repair it, and the other was brand new.

@@tr_2sc1970 you was unlucky to have your seller closed, but lucky to find this very nice multimeters. good bargain. thanks for commenting from Germany.
