letERblow I'm sending you a PM. To everyone else, the addon probe looks like a good idea, but how does it work? I have Harbor Freight Cen-Tech 95683 meter with a dedicated 2G/20M probe ohm port but I can't find the probe that is supposed to go with that meter.
Also, would having 32M ohm throw off the Fluke probe listed above, or is the 10M ohm number listed just the minimum recommended? I don't mind spending $100 for a nice add on probe.
I also have a Commercial Electric/Mastec/Sinometer MS8260A digital meter that has a 1kv scale but it also loads down the circuit too much.
The Micronta is a museum piece now, but there are few meters anywhere with even 32M ohm built-in. Heathkit made this one
http://www.heathkit-museum.com/test/hvmmm-1.shtml that had 20k ohms per volt on the dc scale. I could never afford Heathkit, though. About 28 years ago when I moved down here there was still a Heathkit store on Broward Blvd in Plantation. The Layfayette Electronics in Plantation on SR7 is still in business. Motorola has a plant in Plantation, so there are people here with old school skillz.
