  • I just picked up one of these meters. I love the large display. My meter didn't come with test probes however. Any recommendations on good probes for this meter? I believe the OEM probes had a 100k ohm resistor in them. Thanks!

  • @bmkoenig26

    You may be able to find them at a local ham fest.

  • Rick,

    Good looking meter. Had I bought that at a hamfest the insides would have turned out to be totally melted or charred black.

    I'd like to get a good vtvm, but trying to find one at a sane price is getting harder and harder. Almost had one on ebay last week, but at the last minute the bid went above $50.00. The shipping was $25.00. Wasn't gonna happen.

    Take care, my friend.

    Regards,

    John

  • Hey John,

    I did get one or two VTVMs several years ago thinking that test equipment is much rarer than radios. So I started collecting antique test gear. I don't know if the VTVMs I have can be restored but I'll do a video on them anyway. Hope you can find one in good shape and at a good price too.

    Regards

    Rick

  • Nice meter!

  • Yep!

see all

  • That is good polish. Be glad to have you as a subscriber.

  • @AllAmericanFiveRadio You're welcome. I've been using a product which does a good job when I'm detailing(scratch,blems,and dirt/grime). LKG Industries(Philmore),Rockford IL. carries a 2-stage kit (stock # 10300)in their catalog that will remove surface blems off Lexan,plexi,acrylics,etc. with minimum fuss....and they include an informative handout sheet on plastic care with every kit. Btw,do you mind if I subscribe?

  • Thanks!

  • I was very happy that this was an easy fix and it is now working like new. When I bought it, it had a bad scratch all the way across the face of the meter. I worked on it for a number of hours and got it polished right out. Now you would never suspect that it had been scratch at all. Thanks.
