Sometimes the old stuff is still the best. At room temperature, a mechanical chopper combined with a high-ratio step up transformer and high impedance follower amplifier is unbeatable for low noise, low impedance signal amplification. The solid state devices that replaced mechanical choppers in

I'm helping the local surplus guy by going through some old gear and checking it over. Sometimes I find something useful :-) I just took apart a Millivac Instruments MV-37B DC Differential Voltmeter, mostly because I was curious to see what was inside (I haven't powered it on yet). Most of what I
