What was your first multimeter or voltmeter?

jhalar:
My first multimeter was a Tandy kit I put together in 1980 when I was 13.
This was my first kit. It still works.

HighVoltage:
My first Multimeter came from the German Army
Made by Hartmann& Braun in Frankfurt Germany, probably in the early 1960s

Here are some pictures of it

Perfect!!  You saved me from searching for a picture - that's the exact same one I started out with, too, though a few years earlier than you ('77-'78ish).  It's lurking about somewhere, though at some point 30+ years ago I was carrying it down stairs on a pile of stuff (lazy man's load) and it took a header.  The plastic faceplate popped off the meter movement when it hit the ground and the pointer got mangled.  I straightened it out as best I could, but you still had to rezero it for every scale as it was not exactly straight when I was done.
