<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=500464202-01041999>Excuse me for
posting something other than a Heath question, but some of us Heath owners also
have meters under the name DAIWA. My dilemma is that I recently purchased
a NS-660PA on ebay for $90.00. I received it timely and when I hooked it up
to my PS it did not seem to have power. After opening it up I see that a
resistor (fuse??) is blown and a wire from the DC connector has melted a
bit. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=500464202-01041999>The guy who I
purchased the item from gives me short responses, which elude to vague knowledge
of the item or its origin. Although he say's it worked the last time he used
it, all of his answers to my questions leave me guessing. He assures me
that the company is still alive, but I have yet to find any DAIWA other
than a real estate company and a fishing tackle
company. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

sent me has the specs and an address in LA, but there is no DAIWA there today.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=500464202-01041999>I am willing to
replace the resistor and the wire to make the product work correctly,
mostly because the PEP will not work without DC according to the specs, and I do
like the meter, I think? </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=500464202-01041999>Does anyone know
anything about this company? How I might be able to get a schematic? Or does
anyone know the value of the resistor(s) attached to the DC circuit in the
unit.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
