    We (read that I,) did a similar thing to a Fluke 4-1/2 digit dmm. It
    was reading the reservoir voltage on a high voltage thyratron when we
    cranked up the main HV. Only got RF to the fluke but it went south
    for the winter. Again cost about $30 to repair.

Please forgive my inherent ignorance, but I've been stagnating in worldy knowledge for the past 2 years (couldn't get into university, nor a job that trains on the job) as a mere Tech. a thyratron is, basically the tube equivalent of an SCR no? Just curious.
