Triplett of Bluffton, Ohio is most famous for multimeters, panel meters and tube testers. When the company switched over to digital multimeters and specialized testers, the demand for the traditional analog equipment continued so they still carry both types. Founded by Ray Triplett in 1904 and continued as a family run business until 1984. As of 2007 Triplett is owned by the Jewell Instruments LLC (originally founded in 1899). The famous Triplett 630 series continues on into the 21st century. here

The 255 itself measures roughly 100 - 1050 degrees F; it was invaluable for balancing the carbs on my 2 cylinder motorcycle!

Since picking up this pair, I've been haunting Ebay for the purpose of exploring some of the other (now discontinued) Simpson plug-in adapters. They turn out to be quite handy gizmos.

Of course, the original AAAs (GP brand) were still in it and you know what happened. Some Deoxit, some distilled water, a little judicious scrubbing with a toothbrush, now it's sitting in a bag of rice. we will see if it comes back to life. I hope so because as I recall it cost me about $100 or so and I didn't expense it because I wanted to keep it. Regretting that decision now. I think I might have got some Deoxit too far up in it and it might be on the inside of the receiver lens as when I sprayed it on the contacts the nozzle was on the "high" setting and I thought it was on "low" - dammit. Don't know how to get it out as it appears to be unable to be disassembled. Maybe if it powers up but doesn't work reliably rinse with isopropyl then more distilled water and rice it again? I figured I would post here because of all the groups to which I'm subscribed I figured this would be the one most likely to have members that tinkered with electronics.

Sidebar question: I do have several things that run on 9V batteries, what would you recommend for those? Imedion? Centura? Other? And what to charge them with? I don't have a 9V NiMH charger. [links]

Sidebar question #2: one of my favorite tools is my Simpson 260. I know, it's old school, but it has never let me down. It uses one D cell (I think? Might be a C cell - I'll have to check; unfortunately it's kind of a PITA to get into the battery compartment because it has the roll up case) and one 9V battery to do resistance measurements - my understanding is that if the battery voltage is too low that it will not be able to be adjusted to calibrate properly. Anyone ever try NiMHs in a 260 and did it work OK or no? Also, do Fluke DMMs use the batteries for reference voltage similar to the Simpson, or no? (I believe the Flukes all use 9V as well.)

[draaglom]

Next question. I'm seriously considering that it may be a wise investment to just go through and replace the batteries in everything I own with Eneloops if I can. Agree/disagree?

Moleman is a former mayor of Springfield. Whilst he was the mayor, he bought a town anthem off a traveling salesman, which had also been sold to many other towns and cities. He also balanced the budget eight times during his time as mayor. When it was revealed that former Mayor Moleman had bought the town anthem and not written it himself as he had claimed, he was ejected from Springfield by being tied to a horse and sent out into the desert. After a long time, Moleman said "whoa" and the horse stopped and took him off its back. [2]

On another occasion, it is implied that he works at a bird sanctuary, as he has to order a bird seed bell ("No, that's too big"). [11] He once worked as a postal worker. He once worked as a janitor at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant and received a severe head wound ("Oh no, my brains.") from Mr. Burns when Moleman asked Burns for seventeen dollars for a push-broom rebristling; Burns, high on ether, mistook him for the Lucky Charms leprechaun and went to his skull with a power drill. He has also been seen representing a Solar Power company. [12] Homer stumbles across Hans Moleman as the leader of a race of Mole People in an underground fortress complete with earthquake machines. [5] Before now he has also been working in a prison as someone giving out books.He has also made a short movie for the Springfield movie festival entitled "Man getting hit by football" in which his only three words were "Ow, my groin". Most recently, he has been sighted working as a teller at the First Bank of Springfield. He also worked as a Duff Delivery man in [13] and a janitor at the Power plant. [14] [15] [links]

Many times people will totally disregard him, usually leading to something like death, or simply imprisonment, but since he appears, even after "dying", those later appearances could indicate he survived. He has also had several accidents where he was not severely injured. He further angered the crowd at Bart and Lisa's junior hockey final because he fell down the steps then shouted 'We paid for blood!!'. [17] He also crashed his 1959 Cadillac into the side of Springfield's Planet Hype restaurant (which Marge mistook for a clever decoration). On one occasion, due to Homer's stupidity, he nearly drowned in his truck when it sank into the river after Homer blew up the bridge between Duff Brewery island and the rest of Springfield.

Hans has escaped death innumerable times, usually highly improbably. He survived when his car exploded, after Otto mistook the gremlin on the side of the schoolbus, for Moleman's AMC Gremlin (a car). He survived being thrown out of a 2 story building, he survived catching on fire due to the powerful magnifying effect of his glasses, Montgomery Burns drilling into his brain, capital punishment (in a local jail) after Homer eats his last meal, being crushed by a pizzeria rubble, being buried alive, getting stranded in the snow surrounded by wolves, getting run over by the school bus, mysteriously flying into the side of a restaurant, [16] sinking completely into quicksand, being run over (while carrying a "U Suck" sign in the middle of countless "Keep Out" signs) by Homer Simpson when trying to dump the Pig Crap into Springfield Lake, and being engulfed by the "anti-escape orb" that was attempting to catch Marge from escaping a Movementarian compound (a parody of the Rover security device from the 60s show the Prisoner).
