    I think Phil nailed it. Needs a high voltage probe.
    Could it have been intended for TV work? They used high voltage for the CRT.

    That’s entirely possible, though I don’t know why they would have bothered to implement those lower voltage scales.. what’s the use?

    Also, I was under the impression that Merc-o-Tronic limited themselves to making instruments for the mechanical service industry.. had no idea if they made instruments for electronic (TV in this case) servicemen.
