Actually, no it won't.
The tube in the AC probe is very special. It extends the frequency response
from 20Hz to 750MHz, and up to 300VAC from 20Hz to 100MHz. You won't be able
to do that with any single solid state component.

Chuck's correct on this. I used 410Bs for years, and what he says is
absolutely true on this probe. The tube is a "must have" in order to
restore full functionality to this meter. Messed up probes are the #1
reason than many otherwise good 410Bs get junked, which is a shame.
It's really a very versatile, accurate instrument when functioning
properly.
