A good one to go with is : Radio Shack 22-802, Pocket size Auto-Ranging LCD Digital Multimeter $20-30 (got mine 14.95 on sale). Measure AC, DC voltages to 400V and resistance to 4M ohm, 3.75" digit display. It is in a hard plastic case that encloses the test leads, about the size of a pack of cigs. Don't leave home without it:-) Using the meter is easy. Understanding what the problem circuit is supposed to be doing is the trick. Good Luck - Ernie P.
