Have been looking for it for a while and it turned up on a high shelf. It's a cool little guy with a low input impedance, 1000 ohms per volt. Made up a battery pack for the ohms range with 3 AA cells.
Still need to make up a few test leads and am interest in how it will compare with the old schematic voltages.

Once you get it up and running you should get it to agree with readings from the old service literature. One of us has to answer at least one post a week on the subject. Who's turn is it?

Got one myself, and restored it a long time ago, afraid to look inside as the bateries have surely leaked again

Well don't know who's turn it is? But I'm just trying to catch to the number of post Ron has made! Just kidding!
Just want to help out when I can. I enjoy it and I think it helps keep the noggin sharp.
