Several people have made the observation that nothing beats an analog meter for alignment, (peaking and dipping,) adjustments.
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!

Can anybody recommend a decent DMM for use in maintaining my boatanchors? Something with a fair sized display for my aging eyes would be great. My ancient analog VOM doesn't cut it anymore. I don't need laboratory accuracy, just a reliable instrument.
