Back in 1952 I was a high school freshman and a brand new Novice. On my way home from school I would drop in on my "Elmer", W2FIJ, who ran a Radio/TV repair shop. Ralph would impart his vast knowledge of electronics and let me poke around in his parts bins. One day I came across a beautiful "volt" meter so of course I had to measure a battery.....
I learned a lot of things that afternoon, a serious lesson in Ohms law, what a meter shunt does, and a number of words I hadn't heard before! It WAS a very nice microamp meter movement. Well, I worked that off on weekends stuffing tubes in the tube checker, sweeping the shop's floor and learning much more in the process.
