I have to tell you, every time I buy a "still works" instrument it does not work. I even have sent some in for repairs, and get a call "Gene, we can't fix this thing. Where did you get it?" In a couple of cases, they said it looked like someone tried to connect the instrument to house current.

McGarrett, I'm not trying to be negative, just my experiences. I actually hope the thing works, and will work on your A.
Boy is that the truth! I found an Annie 4 port analog temperature analyzer at a swap meet for twenty bucks. I have two others that are iffy, but I like them. Open it up to put batteries in, and just as you said. Looks like someone hooked it up to 110! It was burnt fried. I guess I should have sniffed it!
