[Boatanchors] [Milsurplus] 800 Cycle AC Meter?

[howard holden]

All I can tell you is the one on my GO-9 has been working for 10+ years now on 60 cycles almost daily and sometimes on for days at a time with no ill effects. Never gave that a thought. I’ll have to take its temperature, maybe tomorrow. I did compare it once to my DVM, and the readings were quite close.
