I got my hands on an old Multimeter. Changed the Batteries and was surprised to find to empty but otherwise completely intact 30 year old batteries inside. (The company „Horten“ was bought in 1994, also the price is still in D-Mark and not in Euro)

    An absolute unit! I had a similarly sized Soviet made one when I was a kid but either it was passive or I have not found battery door

      If I’m not mistaken, this thing can also measure a capacitor’s capacity. And resistance. I guess that’s why it needs its own power supply.
