John - A very Merry Christmas to you also...

I"ve had excellent luck with Fluke DVM"s. My model 77 has worked flawlessly (and been horribly abused....) for 12+ years. I also acquired a model 87 III a few years ago which seems similarly robust.

Unlike a cheap Radio Shack unit (model unknown) I also have, the Fluke"s work fine on the "noisy" electrical systems typical of old tractors, etc. Also the Fluke"s ability to measure AC current occasionally comes in handy when working on 120/240 VAC electrical stuff.

I"d highly recommend the Fluke 77 - it"s within your price range and is an accurate, bullet proof meter.

Note that I still have and use an ancient Simpson 260 analog VOM for extremely noisy DC. You cannot beat a mechanical meter movement for following certain types of transient voltage/current swings.

Now be good for the next week and a half so Santa comes through for you!!
