I need a multimeter to buy as i'm getting into pinball/arcade restoration. I would like a digital one. Anyone have any recommendations for a good one that will work well for arcade/pinball troubleshooting?? Of course i don't want to spend a fortune, so what are some good, reasonably price multimeters that you guys use? |

Harbor Freight, Cen-Tech ~$4 EDIT: Here's a link: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Category.taf?CategoryID=170&pricetype= Yes it's $10 right now, but it's always going on sale and/or there are HF coupons available. |

Back in the day I purchased a Metex meter like this one for around $150: link And just last year I bought one like this on sale at Harbor Freight for $3: link If all you are doing is checking voltages, continuity, resistance, etc. I recommend the $3 one. |

Wow, $3.00?? |

What makes you think an arcade videogame or pinball is any different from any other electronic device like a TV or PC ? All multimeters will work fine for your goal. However, I'd invest in the 30 bucks one instead of the $3. Just MHO. If you want the best, buy a Fluke. Nothing beats it, I've used them for 16 years in my work now, and they never fail. http://us.fluke.com/usen/products/categorydmm |
