TS-100 resistance between the rings = 8.6 Ohms
TS-100 resistance between top ring and body 0.9 Ohms
TS-100 resistance between bottom ring and body 9 Ohms
Pinecil resistance between the rings = 8.2 Ohms
Pinecil resistance between top ring and body 40k
Pinecil resistance between bottom ring and body 40k
Firstly it is so nice that asking for readings like this can be expected in this community.
As for the values the impedance difference is already concerning, but I was hoping you were getting a voltage reading as I had thought both tips had a thermocouple reporting temp; a thermocouple generates a tiny trickle of voltage which is read as temperature. I wonder if the ts-100's thermocouple line is shorted copper to copper?
