[Amps] AL-1500

[Rich]

José -- My guess is that the meter was damaged by something that also did 
other damage.  Are there 3A glitch diodes across the meter movement? Does 
the AL-1500 have a VHF parasitic suppressor in the anode/plate circuit?  
What was the meter reading before the problem occurred?  Do you have 
access to a high-potential tester?
-   I think you are right about Señor Murphy.

cheers
