Re: PCB board manufacturer recommendation
I use OSHPark for very tiny or one-off boards, price goes up pretty quick as it's $5US/square inch for 3 boards. For all others I have been very happy with Smart Prototyping for several years now.

Re: DVM hookup
I am late to this discussion but can confirm that these meters will work great. I added them to my little homebrew bench supply I built in the early 1970's. And also used them in a solar panel

Re: DVM hookup
Jim, Based on the eBay link that Brian sent I believe you are right. I looked at Diagram 2 several times just to be sure. As long as your bench supply is between 4 and 30v you should be good to go. So
