For what it's worth I am going to chirp now...
People are welcome to shoot me down. I am cool with that
Anlalogue VS Digital: In my experience for day to day repairs...Analogue never lies.....gotta understand what the meter is showing/telling you....no beep beep here or beep beep there. Silence and accuracy is the Analogue way. Gotta understand what it's telling you though. Wax that and you are good to go.
Digital is brilliant for new designs where you are looking for set up accuracy....need 10.00 V exactly.....DMM delivers. My Fluke 77 is around 30 years young now.....best tool I ever bought. I saved all my money as a 21 yr old and purchased the best tool ever.
But every tool has its usefulness. I guess it's all about how you understand and use your tools
So, as an old repair Guy who has seen all, and I mean all.....Analogue does it for me
New design=use Digital. Repairs=Analogue.
Put that in your hat and sleep on it

Hi tv,
Nobody is going to shoot you down. What you say makes a lot of sense- you can be terribly misslead by a load of dancing numbers on a digital instrument, whereas an analogue needle gives you a much better idea of what is going on. But for precision work and design proving I find digital the best. Like I said before, you need both types and the cost these days is so low that it is no problem to buy both- I have done that.
