Perfect...nice!!Well everything except the kitchen sink here!! I love meters, this is my home stuff and have about the same at the cabin.
I collect them from wherever, the best one was the fluke, estate sale lady said it doesnt work, how much then .50 cents needed a battery and leads . I have a meter in each auto to and my ATV.View attachment 49811

simpson still makes the same units to this day they around 300.00In my photo the triplett 310c (meter RHS) has been mine for over 40 years, found it the base of a pole I was about to climb,, nobody at work claimed it.
So had it since,,,

Keep the pics coming, when I go to the cabin will get a shot of those.
Jake we had a ton of Simpson meters at the phone co in the central office.
probably the best you could get way back in the analogue days.

i ordered a replacement circuit board for mine a few years back and replaced it since it was half dead when i got it.
i got a old western electric and a eico brand VVOM meters that came from my dads work he is service tech/ line man for the local telephone co-op.Wow I would have thought analogue meters were a dying thing!! Been a good meter but one of the ac functions is not right never has been. Lots of people dont understand why I have analogue and digital meters. They both have their place. When the phone co went digital , we begged and got to keep out old manual test board,, was so good trouble shooting bad cable pairs,.I have some of the meters from our old power room around somewhere,,,,,they are 6 inchers.
