I have almost this exact model 22-204U (green color box) that I bought from Radio Shack on 2/23/1983 the day before my 21st birthday. It is in mint condition, still in the plastic bag with the Silica Gel pack still inside the box for 38 years even still has the new smell since I rarely use it. Cost $24.88 back then.

I showed up with an old analog meter and got years of lessons after work from an electrical engineer that was retired but loved teaching people. I got paid to get my license and it all started with an old Triplett analog meter someone threw away.

They sold those as a kit as well. I was 17 years old when I bought the kit from radio shack. After I put it together, it worked very well. I used it quite a lot but I put it in a safe place, and it must still be there.

If you don't wish to read a bit long post, please skip to the bottom. But I have A Unit I think is older, but not in as good shape as yours. There's a cool story behind it.... Thanks in advance. Nice looking unit. I have a Micronta 22-214. Not bragging, I don't play that. Is cool you showed how to use it but other than soldering and wiring, even at 58 a novice. The Meter was given to me by a GS buddy, who Saldy, I don't talk to. We're opposites in many ways, but had history after we re-met by chance I used to bike to and run around. I live in Chicago. I grew up near the Forest Preserves, which is pretty much what it sounds like, running for miles along the Des Plaines River. There's also many other Lakes with Woods. Someone had the sense to set them aside, for Nature, People and people and wildlife. Point being I met him there. He was fishing with a friend from Chef School. We reconnected. Back when I'd drank, we'd go to Bars. I was quiet, he was brash. Half-Sicilian, half-Polish. I think the Sicilian side have him the bravado he had. I was a jock in HS, but bullied in GS I was not a fighter. He was strong, small, and fierce. I saw it in his eyes more than once. Enough History. His Brother, older, was a Mechanic. He knew his way around anything mechanical, old-school, but loved to drink, in the end, more than work, and lost a decent job due to that. This was his Micronta. After their Father passed, heart ; the Mechanic Brother traded all the Father's tools for money, or booze. I really don't know, except it's sad. I still have my Dad's Black&Decker, and it still works perfectly. It's from the 60's, because I remember it being on the Bench in our garage. My Dad had a good, long life. He was a Precision V Machinist at Western Electric's Hawthorn plant for 40 years. Only missed 2 days, but that's another story. I looked up your story to find out what the switch that is labeled V-A/2 & V-O-A does. Now that I think it selects to test either Voltage, or Ohms. I picked that up from your video. Also, what does RANGE DOUBLER mean? Thank you very much for the the post. I learned a few things, and I like the way you explained so a layman could understanding. Still learning. Keeps the mind more flexible. Sincerely, David P. S. Please forgive any typos. My Swype Program isn't working well. I have 64G Internal and a 64G chip, but with over 13'000 photos. (Samsung Galaxy 8) Thank you again, David.

I've got the 22-211 ohm meter . Back the radio shack was entry level or cheap made in Japan. The cheap Japanese stuff was well made if not better by any standard. 80s Japanese tech was far beyond its time.

Radio Shack sold them as early as 1974. Boy it looks new and unused. I still have my 22-202 which costs a whopping $20 back then.

The year your meter was made should be in the schematic diagram. Or somewhere in the manual.

I bought a Micronta at an auction and it was listed as IOP( in open box.) The meter looked brand new and when i opened it up i found out that it had several resistors burned up pretty bad. So now i need to find a schematic that lists the roasted resistors to see if i can bring it back to life.
