Be very careful of any old VOM's around modern gear!
For resistance checks they often used sufficient voltage and current to
destroy modern i.c.s
Even though you're only looking for a short circuit, if you do NOT have a
short, whatever voltage/current the old VOM delivers will be placed across

I have four DMMs and four or five VOMs. If you need digital
readability or high input resistance a DMM is good. I won't bother
with one to make resistance checks and the like when my K3 comes. I'd
have to go look for one of my DMMs. A couple of the VOMs are within
reach. Of course I may be bia
