[ARC5] GRIPE

Bill- there are often subjects that are germaine to both lists.
If the lists would allow "BLIND COPY,"  that would
solve the problem.  Why is this disabled?

>> Hello all,
>>
>> I am looking for whatever information I can gather on a French pocket 
>> size
>> multimeter.
>>
>> “Metrix” model 460, Serial number 114105.
>> AC/DC ranges: 3 volts F/S thru 750 volts F/S at 10,000 Ohms per volt.
>> AC/DC Ma. ranges from 150 ua. to 1.5 amps F/S.
>> Ohms: 0-20K F/S and 0-20M ohms in 2 ranges.
>> plus a db scale (no impedance specified on meter face.
>>
>> A very neat and found very accurate meter  although the ranging factors
>> make the scales rather confusing until you figure the “volts per 
>>  division”
>> and division or multiplication factor for the 0-150 full scale 
>> calibration
>> The actual voltage ranges are: 3, 7.5,30, 75, 150, 300, 750, current
>> ranges are 150 ua.,1.5 ma., 75, 150 ma and 1.5 amp.
>>
>> It uses the “Banana jack” range switching rather than a rotary switch.
>> There is a rotary switch that is a function selector between AC/DC 
>> voltage
>> and current ranges and ohmmeter function.  (5 positions.) Plus a “zero
>> ohms” pot.  Uses 2 “AA” pencells for the ohmmeter.  I have NO IDEA of the
>> vintage! I am guessing 1950’s maybe?
>>
>> I have had it for years and want to see if someone has any information on
>> it at all.  A “manual” even if in French! Schematic, a flyer or whatever.
>>
>> 73 to all,
>>
