The Model 84 (1934 or so) I'm restoring has a nice table of various typical voltages in the unit. It calls out the Philco Model 048 All-Pupose Set Tester as the meter to use.
I have no doubt the Ohms per Volt of the meter is a much lower value than modern meters.  Anyone have a clue of what the Ohms per Volt DC meter on this unit would be?  
Maybe 1000 Ohms / Volt? 5000 OHMS per Volt?  10K ohms / Volt?  
I have seen those (and others) on meters in that generation.  I know I can put an appropriate resistor across the leads of a modern volt meter, but the question is what resistor value?
Thanks.
