YAY! It was the fuse, and there was another fuse inside, right there just waiting for me to install! I am up and running again. Now to put the potentiometer in the link before I hook up the power- that should do it.

For my regular set up I just use 3 9v batteries, a potentiometer and some silver. The potentiometer is nice because I can change the resistance if I want to and still keep a lid on the current. Making it very slowly (.3mA) takes maybe 12 or more hours to get up to 10 ppm or so. It takes alot less time when I set the pot. current to .8mA.

Thanks!   Kathryn

Dear Esteemed and Learned List Members,

I was fooling around with a wall wart that is listed as 24V and 500mA,
and had it hooked up in ser


Yup! You blew it.
An ammeter across a voltage source is a dead short.
With luck, if you open it up, you'll find a blown fuse.
Harbor Freight often puts mmeters on sale for $2 or $3, but that won't
help you in the land of Oz.

I like to monitor current by measuring the voltage across a 1000 ohm
resistor in series with one of the circuit leads.
It's readout will be the equivilant current in milliamps.
