That would be true for most people. I have been repairing devices successfully for 30 years now.

I also build my own test equipment.

From what I have seen come out of repair facilities lately, I prefer to do my own work.

For the safety ratings, this meter doesn't even have a brand name. Just a model number. I doubt any such ratings even exist.

I am not recommending buying or not or repairing or not, just passing along my personal experiences.

I used to run 85kV Hi-Pots. A crank insulation tester is almost a toy for me.

An IR tester may just be a toy for you, and I understand that, BUT thee advise or concept of someone trying to service their own equipment could wind up deadly, that was my point. We all like to tinker, but any repairs to all test equipment should be left up to a lab or calibration specialists, that's what I was stating;)

I am with you on that.

I never advise people to work on equipment that there is virtually no chance they have adequate training on.

I am a ham radio operator. We routinely get into high voltage circuits that could be deadly. We have for over a century now. Training and experience is everything when it comes to looking to walk through the 'valley of the shadow of death' to swipe a paraphrase.

In other words, don't do as I do, do as I say and what I say is pretty much what you have said to me.

I appreciate it, too.
