Can I use different types of thermocouple probes with my met

[tiberius]

I picked up a cheap T-type thermocouple meter with a bad probe. Will
a J-type probe work with the T-type meter (w/same plug)? I wasn't
sure if the meter was calibrated to a certain type of probe. The
meter is a Digi-Sense model 91100-20, if that helps. Seems like eBay
has every type of probe available except a T-type. TIA

Hope you didn't pay much.

$10

It shouldn't be that difficult to find.

(Type T does well at very cold temperatures.)

There's stuff on here that didn't show up on several Google
searches....thanks!

Yes but it will give garbage readings.

It is. See above.
