Anyone know a decent electric supply in the Thornton area that will sell retail? I need a Bussmann ktk-r-15 fuse or equivalent for my multimeter, but not having much luck. Need it by Saturday, so online is out.

I have an 87-5 at work and an old 27FM at home. That 27FM has some miles on it but still kicking. Been rebuilt once 10 years ago and it is now 25 years old. [Beer] With all the accessories I have for it (Amp, HV, Temp) it is not going anywhere soon.[Flower]

I've had this one for almost a decade, just had to replace the leads a few weeks ago.

Remember, when it is on the Ohms/resistance setting, don't measure voltage.
Or in the volts setting don't try to measure voltages over 5K or the secondary side of an HID ballast.

Do not measure amps when cranking the car with out an amp clamp.

I'm not real sure what cause the fuse to blow. Worked one day, rode around in the truck for a while, then wouldn't work (was measuring draw <5amps).

I usually use it for piddly stuff. Gotta fix my surround receiver this weekend.
