Well I got this old ancient Eico 555 meter and noticed that AC volts and ohms dont't work. Well, Eico used to be a kit provider, and this multimeter appears to have been assembled wrong - the battery pack appears to have no way to provide power into the resistance scales based on how the contacts on the waferboards are aligned and how the battery is fed in (I had to analyze it because I can't even tell which way is positive, as well as the fact if these are regular AA's or what?). And I don't know what's wrong with AC volts at all, it simply reads 0V.
DCV and DCA seem to work just fine however.
Anyone happen to have the schematic or assembly guide for the old beast (Google had some leads pointing to some public fileshare services that have since deleted the items)? I suppose the 565 is similar...
