The meter was surprisingly clean inside compared to how filthy it was outside. I’m not sure why but vintage HeathKit stuff is through the roof right now on eBay. Fred- What kind of maniac doesn’t love old multimeters?! 😂👍
Good on ya that you didn’t edit out getting shocked, it’s easy to make a small mistake and get bit (speaking from experience)… a reminder to all of us that electricity is unforgiving of mistakes.
Most V.T.V.M.s were designed to be used in the upright position, any other position wold cause problems from the heat of the tube(s). Yes I have several (no Heath) on my bench. Ran a B & K 177 at the stereo repair shop until it closed in 2000. Thanks for the video.

You should watch your own video before publishing it. Just sayin'
I hear you, my only response is that I shouldn't do videos when I'm not feeling well. Sorry for the crappy filming.

Mistakes like that happen when you don't feel good and aren't fully engaged in what you're doing. Sorry for the crappy filming.

Thanks and yes they need to be vertical, I have 2 Eico, 1 of which I converted to IC's instead of tubes so it runs on 2, 9 volt batteries.
