    Quoted from Pinballer73:

    Which logic probe is recommended?

    The Elenco LP-560 has been good to me.

    Quoted from Pin_Guy:

    I like the Elenco LP900/625 Logic Probe. This one will auto detect if you are working on CMOS or TTL circuits and I do use the pulse feature when troubleshooting and repairing boards on the bench since I don't own a dedicated pulse generator.

    Recommendation:
    Pick up a Elenco TL-12 Banana to Mingrabber Set to go with this amazon.com link » I plug these into my meter, connect the minigrabbers to the power source on the board, usually an input diode or capacitor, then shove the alligator clips into the back side of the banana plug. By doing this, you keep the logic probe alligator clips off the board so there is no way they can cause a short.

    I like this idea better than what I been doing.
