Splendid! Thanks Peter. That’s tonight’s reading sorted then!

Dave, I’m with you on analogue meters, but this probably isn’t the place to raise the old analogue versus digital debate, which has been going on since DMMs were invented… It’s possible though that the DMM with its very high input impedance coincided with the need for such high sensitivity in electronics work, plus the fact that a decent DMM was probably far cheaper to make and buy than a VTVM or an electronic multimeter like the Avo EA113, my own favourite.
