I have a KX1, not a K2, however the point is taken. Nicola told me that 
meter was "low-voltage" and okay for solid state. How do I verify that 
it is so? And, most importantly, how do I check whether any damage was done?


Ok, I'll quit worrying about the resistance values and get a DMM to 
recheck the ripple.
