Vintage Synth Repair

Hello:all you need to do to measure negative voltages is reverse the test 
leads,most digital voltmeters have a + or - sign before the reading to let 
you know if it is a positive or negative voltage you are reading without 
having to reverse the test leads,a Fluke meter should be good enough to read 
the voltages,I don't think fluke makes anything but good meters,but get one 
that has at least 3-1/2 digits.preferably 4-1/2 digits if you plan on doing 
a lot of synth adjustments.
reagrds,
Tim K.
