I used to do this with an Ohmmeter with a paperclip soldered to each lead. Sometimes I'd bribe a hardware guy with doughnuts to use his oscilloscope.
Some people might find that when soldering a wire to a paperclip, that they get a bead of solder *around* the paperclip, with the bead of solder having wet the wire nicely, but then get no connection at all between the wire and paperclip. Between the solder and paperclip, you might just get an insulating tube of cooled, hardened flux, preventing the connection.
I'd rather use solid core wire which is thick enough to poke into the holes.
