I would look for a super cheapo 830B multimeter.

Now you need some practice. What voltage will the meter display?

>cheapest multimeter, an analogue one.
Not a good idea. Input resistance depends on range (ohm/volt) and is much too low for measuring voltages in electronic circuits. Standard is now a 10 MΩ input. Even the ubiquitous $5 2000 count ICL7106 based meter needs some correction (pic, exercise) and can derange the circuit while measuring.

>soldering iron's circuit
Maybe not the last version? Cannot imagine how that circuit could work.

It's always good to have a throwaway meter in your collection. Mine is yellow. The other one is dark gray, much smaller and has 10 MΩ.
>autoranging takes millenia
The [R-H] range hold button is your friend. Let it seek and lock it. Some autorange meters are damn fast which is rarely mentioned. Also: Do not measure current unless you have a spare fuse..
