I ordered a battery because I was not sure if I needed it for all functions or not so I just ordered one.
From what I have read over the years their have been many different models of the 630. Some use the Banana style jack's some use the more modern style where you have basically the hollow metallic sleeve surrounded by a plastic sleeve.
For instance on the companies website they list leads as such " For Older Models of the 630" I kid you not....LOL Then on ebay a guy has some listed for " 630 Model 4 and Higher" they are each totally different styles. I have both my old Mircronta has Banana style my Fluke does not.
i was actually wondering about that! The voltage rating of the OEM leads. They did not strike me as being anything different then the common ones for 1000-650 volt range meter's!
So again I am very thankful that you pointed me in the right direction and made sure I knew what to look for to get the right model! It is hard to find something on the internet if you do not even know what you are looking for! I am so excited I can not wait for my new tool to arrive in the mail!!! So again thanks for pointing me in the right direction this is exactly what I was looking for!
Oh and I was not at all complaining just so you know I am happy as a lark to have this unit heading my way and at such a great price point! I just wanted other's to know in advance so if they bought one off ebay or craigslist list they would know those few things! I am happy as can be so do not take it like me complaining I was just trying to give a heads up! When I used to by a lot of milsurplus stuff I often had to make my own batteries packs because a lot of their devices used odd ball Military Specific batteries....Kind of like how they used to make the rims on the vehicles odd ball size so civilians and soldiers would not be able to use the tires on their vehicles thus preventing theft. The original military jeep had rims that where odd ball sized to prevent theft of tires during WWII rationing of rubber, fuel and other essentials. So it did not surprise me that it took some odd battery I just did not know it at the time.
I have Belding HV RF power wire designed for High Voltage RF use rated to 40,000 Volts from long ago. I considered using it to build some leads. Instead of screw on alligator clips I figured I would make some specifically for the purpose of testing the leads that come out the transformer with clips.
When I was last at Rat Shack they did not have any leads with banana connectors on the end only the newer style. In fact they did not even have a spot on the peg board for them. It seems that banana style is not in fashion currently.
So when you built your test leads did you use the OEM style plug ends or do they make a better style that is made from a better material then cheap low dielectric plastic.
