OK everyone, ran into another curve with this unit. What can anyone tell me about copper oxide rectifiers? Seems this unit has one on the VOM section, I'm presuming to rectify AC voltage before the meter. It also has what looks like a variable resistor which I would think is for calibration purposes? The whole thing is built into a standard 4 pin tube base. How would I go about testing this unit? If bad, could I rebuild it using selenium diodes? Learning as I go... Take care, Gary
