Meter Test Video
Before I soldered up the battery well, I wanted to make sure my splicing didn't fail during reassembly. I stuck the bare end of the splice into the bottom of the well, placed a 357 battery in it, pushed down to make contact, and the meter jumped to life. This test should have been done at the start of all this too, to make sure that there weren't any other hidden problems.
