The Design

The standard accuracy of 1% provided by cheap digital instruments is sufficient for most tube work. When buying a multimeter one should only pay attention that the voltage is not limited to 200V as is the case with some meters. Some tube circuits have high impedance and can only be measured well with a high impedance meter. This one has 10 MegaOhm of impedance on all voltage ranges.

Obtained	8/1998 from Elco Electronica, Alkmaar.
Condition	6; don't know how well it works now.
Disposed	Sold 8/2025.

This Object

Despite all ingeneous equipment being available, a multimeter is the most often used instrument for most radio collectors.
