Hi Clark! Welcome to the forum!

In general the older amp probes will mount ok on the newer meters, BUT the newer meters do not have the jack on the top surface to make ground connection, just a locating hole. Take a close look at post 2 in this thread... the new amp probes use a 2 wire plug to make both connections to the jacks on the face of the meter. Seems like it would be fairly easy to add a second wire to the older style amp probe, if necessary.
In my collection, most were purchased off of eBay, over the last 2-3 years.
Good Hunting!
