[Amps] MLA-2500 Multimeter Needed

[Bob Maser]

During my conversion process on my MLA-2500 I inadvertently fried the 
multimeter.  Anyone out there in Amps land have a meter they are not 
planning on using?  Also, does anyone know what the full scale current is on 
the meter?  Since only the guts are bad, even a really ugly one would be 
usable.  When I first notice that the meter was very erratic I put a pair of 
diodes(1 in each direction) across the meter and it made the meter become 
totally silent, no readings at all.  Did I do something wrong?

Thanks,

BTW, the amp works great.  I just tune it for maximum smoke. 50W of drive 
into the pair of 8874's produce 1000W output, and the EBM blower cools it 
great and is super quiet.  The Harbach step start for $20 was a bargain.
