Anyone know, to measure Ohms, where do the leads go?

I have one of those. The unhooked banana plug test lead in the picture goes in the hole below the light. Its the neg.
It uses a special test probe for the high voltage. I don't have that and probably never would be measuring voltages that high any how.

Thanks Mike, this is what I told the guy also. I am trying to get him to test his speakers and this is the only meter he has. It is shown powered up so the ohmmeter might work.

You can go here and download the manual for the 7001 vtvm. Or have him do it. I have it, but the pdf is secured and I don't know how to send it or unsecure it.
