If I may make a suggestion:  A Simpson 260 was great in it's time but
not recommended for troubleshooting solid state equipment.  Its
voltage in the ohms mode is high enough to "turn on" a transistor or
diode and thus can cause errors when measuring components around  the
device.  I recommend a Fluke 87 or the equivalent. It's normal voltage
is low but it also has a "diode"  position which does apply higher
voltage when necessary.  

Expensive when bought new but many used ones are available. Be sure to
get a money back guarantee.
