Default Re: Volume fault ? Trio 9R 59D

Where has 500 (units not stated) come from?

The meter is on the ohms X1 scale and it's reading about 0.7 indicating a resistance of 0.7 ohms.

Did you zero your meter before using it? Touch the leads together and adjust the OHMS ADJ. pot until the needle sits at zero at the right hand end of the scale.

If you want to measure 500k (500,000 ohms) I suggest setting the meter to the X10K scale which means you'll have to multiply the reading (read from the ohms scale) by 10,000. So a reading of 50 would indicate 500,000 ohms.

Reach for your meter before you reach for your soldering iron.
