Simpson 260 Multimeter

[Marv 919]

I just acquired a 260 meter. There is a battery contact missing. Supposed to be 4. 2 for the D cell and 2 for the AA cell. I have not been able to find any contacts like the ones shown. Any ideas?

Maybe this website will help.  If you can find the attachment points wires could be soldered to the batteries.

There are many variations of the 260.  Most of them take a "D" cell and a 9V.  Figure out what you actually have and get a reprint or PDF manual.

Lynnmore, Thanks for the website. That 260 series 5 is the one I have. I hope I do not have to solder to the battery, makes it messy to replace.

Squonk, Thanks for the suggestion. I am about 1/3 of the way through the Simpson listings on that site and so far haven't found the contact.

I don't know anything about these people, or the quality, but apparently exists:
