Greetings from a fellow cheapskate. Unless I have missed something
too, assembling a K3 does not require you to measure anything to an
accuracy of a hundredth of a volt. You merely need to verify that
things are in the ball park.

I bought a 5 GBP ($10 to you) DVM from the local hardware store when I
built my K2 several years ago, since all I had was a Russian-made
analog VOM about 25 years old. All the measurements on the K2 checked
out right where they were supposed to.

I prefer to spend money on things that are going to be used. My advice
would be, get the cheapie.
