[Test-Equipment] Simpson 461-2 digital multimeter. oh-oh..

Hi,

I would try cleaning the pushbutton switches, for both range and function.

I have a Simpson 461 (original model, bought new about 1980), 
which uses an LED display.
It still works, except the original charger wall wart failed.

Size AF nicads are still available.  For instance:
flatlandsdiscount.mivamerchant.net/product/GP140AFK.html

(Caution: I never ordered from them, just found on a Google search.)

 erratically.  Before I destro... er.. inSPECT it internally, anyone have suggestions
 or perhaps even a schematic?  If possible I'd like it to work as good as it looks.
 (Of course the 2AF nicads are long gone, and, yes, the fuse is intactus).
