     Which series 400 is it, that will make a big 
difference. If its a 400A/B its a usable meter but mostly a 
collector's item. 400D/H will depend on serial number and 
version. These models went through at least two major 
circuit changes and the earlier ones will barely meet specs.
     None of the 400 series were sold with probes. There are 
manuals for some models on-line.
