There was definitely a short inside the analog meter movement. The
armature itself was shorting on the metal body and there were two extra
insulating washers on the terminal plate that were redundant. I moved
those underneath the armature one at a time so that it was easier to
align the screws and there was no risk of bending the indicator needle.
I double-checked the wiring again and found a cold solder joint on C-3,
which possibly explained why the A/C mode wasn't responding previously.

It's all working 100% now. I have to grab an A/C source to calibrate the
AC mode, and after that it's getting put back together.

I'll be building another 1.5v battery eliminator for the EICO model 221
that is up next.

"Sorry, nothing to see here. The joint wasn't as bad as they say, but I'm
not looking to go back. I'm a model citizen, clean as a whistle. I've
owned my own home for 12 years, owned my own business almost as long,
don't bother anyone and they don't bother me. You have nothing in any
"police report" pertaining to me. Don't you think they would have "come
a-knockin" a long time ago if they had any reason to? You're delusional
and paranoid, and I have to wonder why.

Oh... I should mention that there are a LOT of trannies in prison. I
don't know why, but there are. The State even has to give them hormone
shots for their tiddies at taxpayer's expense, and they wear bras and
panties. I found everything about them revolting. That's why the whole
"Bubba" thing is almost completely a myth, except in cell living. That
shit wouldn't fly in a 100-man dorm, but trust me, those little trollops
find ways to serve the willing when the lights go out. You see something,
you keep your mouth shut about it because that way you don't get in a
wreck. I never partook in such activities because the whole idea is just
repulsive. I think that's a big part of what I don't like about you. I've
seen how they act and I've talked to a few... total drama queens in every
sense." -James "Checkmate" Gorman reminisces about prison in
