Eric, thanks for your video. I have a Weston TS-352A/U and need to replace the batteries. I am going to try 4 Lithium-Ions for a total voltage of 14.8 plus the 1.5 d cell for a total of 16.3 volts. This only leaves me a cushion of .6 volts. I will have to make sure the Lithium-Ions aren't charged to the max, but it should work.. Wish me luck!

That's a pretty cool multimeter when was it made ?

The military service manual is dated January 1967 so these meters were made in the 60's and 70's. Not sure if they built them into the 80's. They were built under contract for the military. There is no date on this unit so I don't know exact date of manufacture.

@@nick8231 The socket connectors to accept the pin plugs on the test leads are available at Digikey (Mouser and others too) here are links for some examples: www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/pomona-electronics/3542-3/736506 == www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/banana-and-tip-connectors/jacks-plugs/302 == www.surplussales.com/equipment/testequipment/TestEquip-18.html the type used in this meter were special in how they mounted to the front panel so they were water tight. An exact replacement is not likely available. I think you'd have to salvage from a parts meter.
