Darn near. I had to smack my old simpson 260 to get the highest ohms range to
work, and it turned out that one of the AA batteries in there had leaked,
which are only used on that range.
The bit of masking tape on the back showed them having been changed out in
1987. I'm not sure if they'd been changed in the interim or not...
