Hello Brian and thanks for the comments. It's nice to know that someone else remembers these meters!

That's something I forgot to mention. Weight-wise, I'm sure you're right, but a 'modern' PP9 won't actually fit properly inside the battery holder as it's a bit too fat. I've found this sometimes with old equipment, and I think the cardboard used for the casings on old batteries was thinner than on their present-day counterparts.
I certainly can't complain about this meter's performance now it's been fixed, it's a very useful bit of kit.
