You might want to keep your eyes open for one of the Heath VTVMs,
some of which have huge meters. They are abundant at hamfests, easy
to fix (as long as the meter movement or cover aren't damaged) and
typically cheap!
The Simpson 260 is an excellent meter, but unless you get one of the
very latest models they are only 20,000 ohm / volt sensitivity.
This is usually not a problem, except when it comes time to measure
a high impedance AVC circuit in a tube receiver. Then the 11 Megohm
input impedance of a Heath VTVM is handy!
I concur again... I have one of the Heath VTVMs but don't use it too
much; sure is handy to have around when you need it, though.
