I'd suggest spending a bit of time looking for a replacement (used) PS. Alternatively, eBay or the MIT Flea (2 weeks?) are your friends. I'd expect the cost to be $free to $15 total. A DMM is always handy and I think <$20, or a little analog one is typically only a few bucks. As people have already said, be careful not to short out your PS by having the DMM on the wrong setting. I wouldn't worry about operating it without a load, except that you may not get any good readings. Ian
