I hear ya yeah I'm walking away from the table cutting my losses 

Man I sure do like that white face on the broken one 

Little did I know more excitement was on tap after my little test 

Oh yeah went to put the good selector wheel back in the good meter and one of the copper contacts came off 

I gently put it back with tweezers and knock on wood all good now   

 

Save it for parts.  My Beckman 310 was about 40 yrs. old when I finally dropped something on it and broke the case.  I had a parts unit that was nearly as old and it finally paid off.   

Oh well I guess we are done here   

I took a good selector wheel out of a working unit and only gained high voltage ⚡

Only that and a couple low resistance readings show up

So that should wrap this one up

Anyhow if anyone is interested they call those little contacts "multimeter shrapnel" and some are available

Peace out 

Looks like some people make their own:

Response from PUKE after sending inquiry to info@amprobe.com

Hi Wesley,



Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, PUKE does not support service or replacement parts for Amprobe items. I would recommend exploring online parts warehouses or other websites that may have the parts you need. Additionally, checking with rental companies could be helpful, as they sometimes have parts available.



I hope this information is somewhat helpful to you. Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.



Wishing you a wonderful day!

Thanks the MIGHTY G1 

I'm content at this point to remove the actuator wheel from a working unit I have two or even rob one of the little copper strips and see if it restores full function.

I spent $40 on this one which was pretty stupid but hey I learned my lesson trying to second guess complete strangers. 

It would have been nice to get a working FP 700 fuse out of it but oh well.

Limited reading other forums and stuff tells me they (Amprobe) are now owned by fluke and parts aren't really available.

So I'm content to try the actuator wheel transplant and see if it comes to life.

The fuse isn't a big deal the meter is supposed to work without just can't measure current.

Oh sorry forgot to mention the contacts on the board cleaned up very nicely with a swab and some isopropyl alcohol so there's that

But as you know there may be some damaged components.  And at that point all hope is lost but even then I must continue to trudge forward ⏩ and that would be near impossible but I do have some thermo tweezers now.

Hey anybody do you think that damage is from water or arcing/high voltage ⚡

If you have to send it away for repair, it's probably going to cost at least $70.
I would consider keeping it for parts and buying this one, might not be too far from you:  (edit:  sorry, it's an auction, I thought it was a 'buy-it-now' price)

Does the board clean up where those contacts meet?  It looks like some of the traces may be ground down.  If not, and the board is ok, you should be able to buy that actuator wheel with the contacts attached.

I cleaned everything up real good and removed that mangled contact

I figured I would hopefully gain a few more functions but NO 

Now it has less functions I lost the low resistance range.

Yes I know that piece 🧩 is necessary but I think it's more necessary than I thought

So now I have to try to find a replacement piece or fab something up (yeah right      )

Or just send it to the factory for service 

But yeah you guys nailed it for sure 

Thanks again

Meanwhile I really wanted to get the full size circuit board out so I was like dude just take it apart again and keep going 

So I noticed I would not be able to get the full size board out with the contact selector wheel in place but I didn't know how to get it off. So I tugged gently on the front of the meter and no go. 

Then I pulled from the backside and wow

Houston we have a problem

I do not know what happened I had suspected it had gotten wet.  Or ended up in the drink idk 🚢⛵

But now that I look at it I wonder if that is burn marks 

I could clean it up but as you can see one of those copper pieces is all mangled.


Anyhow thanks guys that was definitely interesting
