digital multimeter

[Jim Simmons]

Go to the local Harbor Freight or to their website and look over what they
have to offer. Buy a couple of the inexpensive ones. The first for him to
learn on and one a bit better for him to use. You should also get one of the
current books on beginning electronics and basic trouble shooting. If he
gets into it and starts to talk about the Multimeter he would like to have.
You know what to do!
