    Multi-meter for XSive use?

    Hey guys...we have an incredible number of great resources on this board, but not all are created equal. The one that is the most mysterious to me is the electrical side, and I think others have the same issue.

    Is there a "Multi-meter For Dummies" thread that one could use diagnose these old beasts?

      Hey, you don't even know me and I think you just called me a "dummy"! I must however give you credit for your spot on diagnosis.

      Great question by the way and I hope there is something out there that would help everybody out.

              Ray, you got that right. This sort of help cost bucks in other places, but free as a bird here. And one gets to enjoy the occasional pissing contest to boot! Pass the popcorn....
