Hi Ron, Nice rig! Congrats...
Hopefully you haven't blown one of the multiplier resistors that's switched in parallel with your meter...I did that once with a Ranger-1 & destroyed the meter. Check the values of these resistors one by one---if any are open, i.e. infinite resistance, then the meter is cooked for sure (the meter itself is probably rated 5 ma. max). I ended-up doing a "transplant", i,e, took the innards out of one similarly- rated, surplus, off the shelf meter, & dropped it into the original Ranger meter case. Precision work that needs steady hands! But it paid off... Good luck... ~73~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ > Just picked up a Johnson Valiant.
