Was your first meter a "trashy" meter?
nali:
Something like this IIRC, got a Micronta a bit later.
At 16 I started my apprenticeship where the defacto meter was AVO8 and if we asked nicely we could sign a loan note & take stuff home over the weekend so I guess I was a bit spoiled in that respect.

When I was a kid the fuses had bits of wire threaded through them that you had to replace.
Dad had a little bit of cardboard with three different amperages wrapped around it.

That is the type of fuses in my house which was built in 1976.

You still have that type?
A fuse is a fuse, I guess.
Do you have an RCD?
PwrElectronics:
Not sure how trashy it was but paid $85 USD in 1985 ($238 in 2023 !!)... A bunch of students in my electronics class did a group discount from a tools catalog. Multi-function meter with transistor test and capacitor measurement as well as the typical other stuff. Some Taiwan made off-brand. I am sure a fraction of the price of a Fluke or other major brand.
I still have it and it still works. I have other, better meters now though.
