Score!

Amazing, Dave do you still use it?

Do you know what such large analog VOM are used for rather than a DMM?

58 ranges  ;D
Even goes to 6KV AC and DC!

Back in the day the range doubling switch was the ducks gut feature on any good analog meter.

No, I don't use it, it's just for nostalgia these days.
Digital meters just wipe the floor with analog.
Some still claim the moving needle is better for fluctuating signals, but in reality fast update digital bar graphs are just as good.
They still sell them, so I'm not sure who their market is.

Of course one major benefit is that they don't need batteries, except for ohms.

Thanks Dave.  Yes, I haven't seen any analog's used in years, yet it seems some are still being made new, both by Simpson and others, but not big players like Fluke or Agilent.
