Meter nerd!!  

I have an old heath kit VTVM as well, but nothing beat the HP. have several Simpsons. I remember using those in mech tech class back in the 70's

How can that HP be so accurate without a mirror on the needle? 

I have an old Simpson 360 in the wood box too. Is it just me, or does it have a unique signature smell to it? Do they all smell that way?

it is odd they left that off such a high end piece of test equipment.
