Sabtronics 2000 DMM

The Sabtronics 2000 DMM was originally  a kit form benchtop meter. This unit was built in on of the once-popular TenTec project boxes. I got this from a friend, and set about to repair it. 

The DMM was basically functional. The pushbutton switches needed cleaning, it had a bad internal battery pack, the charge regulator had failed, and the front panel needed repair. I eliminated the battery, repaired/modified the charge controller to provide 6vdc to run the DMM from an external supply, repaired the front panel, and calibrated it. Wow, this is a sharp, very accurate DMM with a 10 megOhm input impedance.

The old battery pack...


I chose this wall wart to power the DMM...


Testing the charge controller...


A look at the main board...


The front panel insert was loose...



About to mod the charge controller, to convert it to a regulator to power the DMM...


Regulator board installed...
