A guy at the hardware store said my old multimeter was basically a guessing game. He wasn't wrong.

Was it really from the 80s?

Wait, how old was that multimeter? I mean, that's kind of terrifying.

My dad's old RadioShack meter from the 80s would give you three different readings if you checked the same battery twice. Honestly, that guy at the store is doing you a favor by pointing it out. Using a bad meter on house wiring is how you get a real nasty surprise. Tbh, a basic new one is cheap insurance against frying something, or yourself.
