Can a DMM be trusted?

I found several caches of oscilloscope probes recently. Ranging from Tektronix that looked brand new in packaging to mangy looking things, odd witch's hats, earth leads etc.

I put as many good ones together as I could, to take up to the Broadcast Engineering Museum where we're short of probes. I kept a few, including a 100:1 probe which is useful on valve kit. Especially when working with a modern scope that doesn't go beyond 5V/div
