Well the shunt diode both ways protection method certainly saved my sb-220
meter in the past,
So I just don't believe you W7FRY. Good diodes should be checked after
install, after any 'event' to check
they have not opened, and therefore replaced before further use.

WRONG.
.6 or .7 or slightly more during an "event" volts is still enough to blow up
the meter.
