If you put a fresh battery in it you can do a partial test to see if it works. Take 2 pieces of copper wire and insert them into the lead holes + & - turn the dial to RX1 and touch the 2 wires together; the meter needle should peg to the right and read 0 ohms. A second test would be to put a battery between the two wires with + side to plus lead and - battery terminal to - Lead wire. A AA battery should read about 1.5 VDC with the dial on DCV 10 . You cannot test for AC without leads unless you want to risk electrocution as you don't want to be sticking bare copper wires in a 110Vac house plug! The first 2 test will at least give some indication to whether the meter works
I was a Coast Guard Electronics Technician and I used a Simpson 260 analog voltmeter similar to this one; there are certain tests that the newer digital voltmeters like Flukes cannot perform because they load the circuit where this type does not.
