Replacing the Amecal meter (and others) rotary selector plate.

This meter is one of a range that are sold under various brands which originate from a large manufacturer of multimeters. This particular style has a slight design weakness that can result in the selector shaft splitting the socket that it mates with on the rotating contact assembly.
This video shows how to replace the rotating contact assembly if you can get one from the original supplier of the meter.

My mention of Dave at EEVblog is regarding his amusing contempt for cheaper meters. It's not a snipe at Dave, it's just a joke.
