What was your first multimeter or voltmeter?

This Tekpower TP2844R served me quite well throughout University for my EET degree. Doesn't have the fastest update rate but the autorange was convenient. Might be developing some issues with the selector switch now though. Decent build overall and I'm happy that I was able to get the use of it that I did and that it's still a great tool to have.

Wow, this is amazing. This was my first multimeter as well, I am glad to find your post.

I remember it was (it seemed to be anyway) such a large display, and I had a lot of fun adjusting the zero when measuring resistance.

Its a shame I lost mine. I dont recall if I got another analog after this one, or if my next one was a digital (which I already have in working condition).

Thanks for sharing ;)

Metex M-3650 some time in the beginning of the '90s.

I am  surprised more people have not mentioned something like this.

My first multimeter was the infamous DT830, in yellow of course.



Got it from Maplins. Still has the original crappy probes.
Still works but the dial is a little temperamental now. Never 100% certain if the volt reading is wrong or the dial needs a wiggle.
Replaced it with the best ( most expensive dmm I could afford from Farnell - Tenma brand. Turned out to be a rebadged UT70b ) dmm I could get.  Still use this one along with my favourite dmm - Fluke 187
