[AT] Multimeters--recomendation?

[Larry D. Goss]

Have you tried Radio Shack?  I'm not sure they have them, but it's worth
a try.  Do a little searching on line.  You may find some leads there
(no pun intended.)  A company whose catalogs I think had those listed is
Jameco.  I haven't seen one of their catalogs in years, but once again,
a little Internet search may give you some results.
