Don, would you have a Triplett VTVM/VOM in the black case. It looks like a
260.
Thanks

Good. I hope your meter never has a need for any of the procedures in there!
Personally, I find these old meters very likeable in all forms. You can go
to any hamfest and pick up a really nice old analog VTVM for $5. You could
quickly and cheaply have a house full of them. VOMs are more
expensive--isn't that odd?
I have one of the 260's numeric-readout successors--the Simpson 467. Runs on
a 9V battery and is bulletproof. It's a fine product also. OTOH, I also have
a Simpson meter (269? 369?--something ending in a 9) that has a large face
and claims to be a 100,000 ohms per volt VOM. This does not seem to be a
very good meter by comparison. It has not held up well over time.

Hi Don,
The envelope full of 260 info and your flier arrived safely today. I sure
do
appreciate the time and effort that went into making copies and getting them
in the mail. I have several 260s and swear by them when working with
boatanchors.
I recently picked up a 360 which looks the same as the 260 but with a
digital
readout in place of the analog meter. If you happen to have any info on this
one, I would be happy to pay for copies, etc.
Thanks again, you get the September Good Guy award in my book!
73,
John, W4AWM
