[sci.electronics] Simpson 260-8 Mods

 If you have a new Simpson 260-8 VOM it is very easy to add the audible
 continuity tester that is included on the 260-8P.  All of the wiring is
 there already, you just need to solder a piezo-buzzer to the circuit
 board.  A Radio Shack 273-074 fits perfectly.  Take the back housing
 off and solder the buzzer in the two extra holes on the right side of 
 the pc board.  Positive should be oriented towards the bottom of the 
 meter case.

 To use the audible contiuity funtion, turn the meter switch to OFF.  
 When you touch the probes together it will beep without any meter 
 indication.
