I've been using an Ideal 61-314 DMM for a few years. When working on guitar amps I often test capacitors in circuit and get a "close enough" reading, just to see if the capacitor is still in the ballpark and hasn't gone bad. I figured I needed a better meter for testing plate current etc., so I bought a used Fluke 175. With the Fluke I can't test caps in circuit, I get either OL, 0 nF, or the reading jumps around in an apparently random fashion. Is something wrong with this meter or is it to be expected (ironically) with a high end meter?
