I Should mention that this is a Simpson 260 Series 6 meter.

[hannahsmith]

Well I was going to say you could use your new meter to check the battery. more

[prometheus]

BTW, looks like your 260 is a Series 6. more

PS. It looks like the text in italics, under the big knob settings, tell you which hole the red probe should be in.

Here is a view of your meter. Looks like someone had the same problem. Two resistors in series. more

If you copy image then zoom in on it later you almost make out the low values. Could use a low value pot then try and zero in on the best reading as Compared to a correct meter. I think it is R-16 11 ohm. more

Both the 11.2Ω and 11Ω resistors are still available new from Simpson, or any Simpson service center.
The 1.109K is no longer available from Simpson, but has been superseded by a 1.095K resistor.
This value will still provide accuracy within the factory specified 2.5 degrees of arc.

Are you saying that, when you switch to R x 1 with no leads connected, the pointer swings from infinity ohms on the left to zero ohms on the right side of the scale? If it stays resting at infinity ohms with the leads shorted together, I would suspect the connections of the D-cell which is the only battery used for R x 1. If someone accidentally tried to measure voltage while in the R x 1 position, a resistor in the circuit may have opened.

A digital multimeter is a super handy tool for quickly measuring voltage, resistance, continuity, and current in many types of electrical circuits. It’s really easy to use a digital multimeter once you understand what the various symbols on the dial stand for. Soon enough, you’ll be testing all kinds of electronics with your digital multimeter! here
