Had a Simpson for years. Until a battery leaked and ate lots of the
inside up. Was a great meter. I have a Fluke for the house / garage.
But in a 99 cent store one day, is a nice small digital DVM with diode
checker, etc. Bought that one for the boat box. A nice meter.


99% of the time that's all you need. I have a few of them because
whenever
I need a meter to work on something I can never find one, so I buy a new
(cheap) one.

I have the Simpson with it's original case and also a Fluke DVOM that I
rarely use anymore. The Simpson is more of a collectable now ... my only
souvenir of 9 years in the Navy. I used to have a nice, dual channel
O'scope as well, but I haven't seen it in years. Don't know what happened
to it.

Tektronix 561 with the plugins?

That was a great scope - used to own one myself.

I have a dual channel Tek and I know where it is. Talk to the possessor
couple times a year. Is a 100mhz Field engineer model, forget the number.
Is small enough to easily carry. I remember working as a Field tech when
going to college and we had to carry the 541 in the car to the computer
sites.
