Ah, the Federal Government in their all consuming stupidity always does  
something like this.

The TS-352 series used 1 - D cell and 3 - 4.5 volt batteries. In their  
wisdom, they surplused them out because the 4.5 volt batteries are no longer  
available. That's the kind of thinking that has our country in financial 
trouble  
as I type.

I simply take a couple of plastic battery holders, one for 3 AA batteries  
and one for a 9 volt battery. Let's see, 3 X 1.5 volts = 4.5 volts, 9 volts + 
 
4.5 volts = 13.5 volts. Gee, why didn't "they" think of that???

I have refitted more of the TS-352 series than you can shake a stick at  over 
the years. Good meter and if I had a spare, I would offer it to Gary cheap.  
I have bought them off the E place for years and refitted them.

Thank you Less.

I have one I have been saving for a project. Now that I know, I can drop some 
batties into the battery space and put mine back in service.
