_____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Fowle Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2007 2:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Talking light tester Roger, The cheapest continuity tester I know of is made by production devices http://www.producti <http://www.productiondevices.com> ondevices.com It's a probe witha metal tip and a long cord out the back with a clip. It will responde either to continuity or varying resistance between probe and clip and to voltage also. I think it's twenty bucks or so. You can't readilly tell if it's seeing continuity or a voltage bit you usually know that. If you want a really fancy continuity/voltage tester, there is the "tonetest" which is a box with really nice clip leads attached and two buttons one that puts it into continuity mode and the other puts it into voltage mode. In voltage mode it has two ranges depending on how long you push the voltage button. Max up to I think 40 volts. The pitch of the tones indicates relative voltage. This is available from Dave Reynolds for about $90.00 and is a very well made high quality machine with really good quality cables and heavy solid brass clips, intended for automotive electrical work. Dave Reynolds can be got at [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:daveke7qf%40msn.com> com The talking digital multimeter has a continuity mode but its poor and slow. this is better if you really need to measure voltages etc. Can be had from Marlin P. Jones associates http://www.mpja. <http://www.mpja.com> com under test equipment/multimeters The manual and a fine review of this meter are on the blind-handyman test pages at jawsusers.com/blind-handyman hoep this helps Tom [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
