Hello Folks,
nice to finally join the forum after reading around for many, many years. Let's get to business: I am, as of today, the proud owner of a vintage Unigor 6e, which I got off a greek fellow who got it from a training academy.
I took it apart and found out that the mechanical meter works, but that the electronics seem to have an eeker. The meter had some "rough times", as it was obviously taken apart once for an exchange of one of the banana plugs (red instead of black). After a few hours of cursing and getting help from el girlfriend, we now have the meter so far that it:
a) reflects on battery capacity
b) shows +inf when in resistor mode
c) shows a zero-ish value in all other modes
Our main issue is now - in addition to the non-zerping - this, that the meter always sees a "phantom" resistance. So in the highest resistance measuring mode, we are always getting 200 kOhm, even if the clamps are perfectly open.
We tested the resistance measuring mode by attachng an external voltmeter: all the lower ranges get the proscribed voltage, while the highest one is limited to 20% of it. When measuring the internal resistance of the voltmeter, by and large, the internal resistance looks good as seen from an ohmmeter attached across the Unigor under Test.
Ideas, anyone? If yes, big thanks!
