Try getting a Fordham Electronics catalog or an MCM Electronics Catalog.
They have lots of good digital and analog meters in them. I don't have
Fordham's number here but MCM's is (800) 543-4330.

I like Beckman and Fluke meters for digital types.  Fluke has some cheap
autoranging ones with audible continuity testers.  Also, B&K meters are
pretty good.  

The Fordham catalog has the most variety.  If you can't get the address,
let me know and I'll scare it up.
