Perhaps you have another capacitor problem..!

I (almost) mentioned non-linearity in Post No.15- my Farnell DM131 must be around 1977 vintage, and although i haven't done a thorough calibration on it, the ACV ranges are such that having it correct at 240vAC means it is no longer accurate at 15vAC. It's useful though for me to have a bench meter with a large hi-viz LED readout and high impedance.
