    Better late than never, or at least that’s what they say. I found mine. It is a Mercotronic Model 871 but is almost identical to yours. My meter face says "peak volts/kilovolts." It came from an older OMC mechanic who used it for trouble shooting power pack-type ignitions. Mine does work, in that regard. Never tried Kilovolts….Anyway, when I used it on CD systems, I plugged my leads into "PV" assuming it meant peak volts.

    Long live American manufacturing!
