Ha !

My Beckman 330 started taking a dump and I couldn't figure it out either...
I got it new, also a thousand years of good service. I started looking at new ones, then I
decided I would get another Beckman 330 off ebay and swap parts. Only that
one had a similar problem, only not that bad..... It was also something easier to track down.
It turned out to be really bad contacts on the big dial. The one I got off ebay wasn't so bad
and once in a while the display would go to 0, my old one would go nuts on all functions all
the time and I just never thought dirty contacts.... Now after dis-assembly and proper cleaning
both work like new.... I got the replacement off ebay for like $12. 6 years ago.
Still going, and it was calibrated 8 years ago....

I just looked, they are on ebay, and for around $25. - $40. for one that "powers on"

That meter you just got does look good. I would like to get a meter with a good cap. and transistor
checker built in...... But I'm happy I did not have to give up my Beckma I really like that meter....
