Oh, interesting. Yours is the first time I've heard that they don't stay put. |

See Fungus, they even exist in the wild! :-DD :-DD --- End quote --- Yeah, one might think a ceramic tube would have some glass in them, but ..... Hope your lightning repairs are going well. --- End quote --- Everything is back together and running except for the Anker USB hub that was damaged. Nothing I could do except order a replacement. I think its because the voltage rating is so low and they are not needing a safety fuse for an uncertified meter. I tried to get Fungus to have a look inside of that cheap meter he picked up but I don't think he ever did. At least with the free HF meters, you know there is no fuse on the high current and the worst possible fuse on the low current. |

There are a lot of meters that have no fuse on the Amps range, for example the uni-t 50B. The mA range is fused and the voltage input, has a PTC, GDT, diodes, a fuse , hi-speed clamps. Well for those use a fuse holder and proper fuse in series, say 10 Amps. |

I plan to run this meter at some point. It showed up but I have not made any time to play with it yet. If indeed the fuse is used for all of the functions, I may just jump it to run the normal tests. Or maybe just give into the fact it will fail like any $10 meter and try to improve it. :-// I have not had it out of the bag but it does look very nice for $10. |
