=46ellow bargain hunters,
I've had one of these meters for a few years and after a few months one =
of the digits became
intermittent.  Opening the case revealed that the lcd was a pressure fit =
to the contacts.  I cleaned
the contacts with an eraser then reformed, (I was taught long ago that =
you never "bend" anything)
the contacts to provide more pressure and the meter has worked well ever =
since.  BTW, it reads
within a few tenths of my Fluke 87 III.
As for the Tiwan machine tools.....  I consider them a work in process.
