      Nice find. I mean it's good enough for minor electronic work. I would have loved to have this when I was a kid with my radio shack electronic kits.

      You just reminded me, it's been a while since my wife and I went "Goodwill hopping".

      Its a great place to meet chicks!!! Low maintenance.

                It's worth $1.00. I wouldnt pay no more than $2.25 for it though. It really isnt worth wasting a good thread on it. LOL JK

                  I had shaggy hair throughout most of high school. "Muffin head" hair.

                  One day I was looking through Goodwill's overpriced collection of mediocre audio gear when this little kid walks up to me and goes "Hey Mom, can..."

                  He suddenly looked up and realized I wasn't his mother, said sorry, and walked away.

                  Fuck Goodwill.

                        It was meant to be a funny story I don't have anything against goodwill for something that could have happened to me anywhere.

                          If that happened at a walmart, I'd understand. An old balding man walking with a limp on both legs, is better looking than women that shop at walmart. Its the only place where you could find a set of dentures on the floor, take it to the service desk, they call it out over the intercom and the next thing they know, they have 22 people in line trying to claim it.

                                reminds me of some guy at the computerfest years ago.
                                had one of those weird hairdoo's that likely used up a case of hairspray and looked like a big birds nest on his head.i asked him where the birds were and he looked at me like i was crazy till i pointed at the hair.then he went all red faced.

                                    Thats a little too technical for this meter. I guess you'd just have to measure voltage across, then resistance, then do the calculation.

                                    By the way, the balding joke, I actually described exacty what I am except for the dentures. LOL ...But that's yet to come. I'll buy them on ebay - lightly used. lol
