My first 260 has been with me since 1971. Most work doesnt need DVM accuracy. Most 260’s I have found on Ebay are beyond saving from battery leakage, so I stopped buying them. 5 is enough.

So i´m a poor guy - i have only 2 of them....hi.

[@electronicsoldandnew]

That’s a great meter, but you’re right: there are a lot of idiots out there messing with stuff they should leave alone. Good job, and thanks for the video.

[@dl7majstefan753]

Thanks dr Manuel

[@davidv1289]

Well done, Stefan. Another instrument on its way to a second life. Yes, it has to be said, there are some idiots out there. Hopefully this idiot has learned a lesson - look but don't touch! I look forward to the alignment and upgrades. Regards, David

Yes and the mount trash grows a little bit slower. But i don´t think that the guys who should watch this video are watching it. Only the guys who knows what to do are watching this.

I have repaired many of the Simpson meters for a company I worked for. I loved these meters. They were the best before the dvm. I still use one when I need to check a circuit with possible oscillation when my scope is not handy. Thank you for another excellent video. Your video recording is superb.

[@dl7majstefan753]

Fully agree with your comments regarding use of analog meters

[@WECB640]

I suspect a cold beer is needed at the end of part 2. Stefan, I enjoy your humor and wit. "There is a bunch of idiots outside." Who puts diodes in backwards with jumpers and mistakes a 22 ohm with a 22K resistor? LOL Oh, if only this meter could talk! It would make a great story and perhaps a movie. 73 OM

[@dl7majstefan753]

Yes, right!! It´s cruel sometimes but it creates the possibility to acquire a good meter at low price...hi. But maybe the resistors where burnt and the printing was unreadable - but a schematic is available in the net.

Stefan, the last adjustment have been done with the instrument in horizontal position, right? Mein Englisch ist nicht sehr gut :).

[@dl7majstefan753]

All alignments have been done in vertical position. But i only said they should have been done in horizontal position

[@oe6kyg]

immer wieder ein Genuss 73 klaus

[@dl7majstefan753]

Danke!

[@montygore1200]

I agree, too many idiots. I was an rf tech and I have ran into a lot of the idiots repair attempts.

[@dl7majstefan753]

But without those idiots we would have less interesting projects.....hi.

Surplus from Mar-a-Lago ?

No, internet platform
