Yep, that can feels like there's nothing in it at all.

So what plans do you have for your new +/- 3% 100 Ohm resistor? Well, 100 Ohm at 10 KHz at least.

The meter is exactly as you say. It's cheap enough and works well enough for the hobby bench. I don't need a precise number for this test, if it's bad it's bad. I don't care how bad it is.

And if it's tantalum, it's blown to bits. No special equipment needed to diagnose that one.

My plans are to replace it with three brand new 10μF/450WVDC capacitors to make the device it was in work again. Two of them are near the back of the meter. I'll then discard that old electrolytic can in a responsible manner. Or something like that.
