I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction here. I'm in the process of slowly but surely setting-up an at-home-lab. For starters, I'm looking into purchasing a vintage ammeter (analog of course), so I can learn the fundamentals of properly measuring for current. And obviously, there are a multitude of ranges depending on the unit. My question is what amperage range would suffice, at least until I purchase a newer digital multimeter, for a hobbyist? I don't want to shell-out my hard-earned dough so as to place the unti in-series only to produce a surge. I guess, simply put, what is a good (sufficient) working amperage range for a newbie? I look forward to any/all response. Thank you.
