I need a site with a photo or exact replication of the meter. I want
to take a Polaroid picture of one at school because I have trouble
doing DC conversions in my head and would like to practice. The tutor
says students aren't allowed to photograph school equipment (?).
Thanks.
I snapped a quick photo for you.

The meter stays with me, found it homeless on a Goodwill shelf for $10,
pristine condition.
Not sure how looking at a picture of a meter will help...oh, unless you mean
you're trying to learn how to read the meter in different modes. I guess the
photo of just the scale wouldn't help then, so here's the whole thing:

1. I'm surprised your school still uses these (unless we're talking about a
high school)
2. I'm glad my college never had such bizarre policies. In the third year I
even brought a webcam and laptop to the power lab in order to capture
oscilloscope traces (the power lab oscilloscopes were not upgraded to
digital yet), while everyone else was taking turns using a bulky Polaroid
attachment (only allowed THREE photos). Teacher, guy who runs all the labs,
and department head all walk over, look at the setup, and the page of traces
I just printed, and go "Hmmm." Next week they had installed webcams at each
station and made holders to clip onto the front of the oscilloscopes.
