Also means you don’t fall over the cable :)

I have a stack of Heathkit Catalogs from 1970's and 1980's. Here is that IM-5238 AC Voltmeter from the Fall 1977 Catalog.

That’s really cool.  Thanks for posting  :-+

You're most welcome. I built many Heathkits over the years. I wish I still had them. In fits of no longer caring about the hobby I sold quite a few of them. Still have the manuals for most of them. In retrospect it was one of the dumbest things I ever did. But one specific one I did keep and I'm glad I did. The IG-4244 Oscilloscope Calibrator. It has proven to be an invaluable tool in checking these high frequency Tek scopes. And it's kinda rare to boot.

That's a proper rare one. Don't ever shift that. Worth its weight in gold. I think Specmaster has the earlier 70s/early 80s blue version of that.

I've had, off the top of my head, numerous V7 VTVMs, IB-1100 counter, two IP-2718 power supplies, IM-5238 AC VM, IM-2410 counter, IM-5284 multimeter and some others I've probably forgotten.

I'm after a IM-5225 next (FET voltmeter) and an IO-4360A scope (Quite good Tek 465 rip off). See: http://www.pestingers.net/pages-images/heathkit/test-equipment/oscilloscopes/io4360A-ioa4200/io4360a-ioa4200.htm

I'd have loved to have built the scope kit with DM44 clone. It's not as good as a Tek 465 but was a hell of a lot cheaper and you could build it yourself! :D
