Before posting those photos, it would have been considerate to give a "trigger warning" :)

Is it better now? I've removed the manky connector found at a ham rally.
Or were you referring to the other trigger? :-DD

Just the name "Bulgin" is sufficient to trigger me :( They were the Clive Sinclair of connectors.

Thanks, I’ll look for one of those.
I have three scopes—a Hantek DSO5102P that was cheap, a B&K 1474 which works pretty well but could use a good cleaning, and a Tek T932A lunchbox portable. Both the latter are 30 MHz scopes, but I most play with audio stuff so that’s fine.
And I do also have a Trio VT-106 SSVM which I bought for measuring tape head audio levels. I was bringing back an old Teac A4300 open reel deck, and that meter trumps any digital meter for finding the dip in dB measurements against a 600-ohm load. That project was successful, which not all are. :)

A handheld Fluke 8060A is much better for audio work than the bench 8050A. It has high frequency response and dB measurement.
I'm Robert and I have 4 8060A's (and 11 other fluke meters) :-DMM

Thanks. (Just learning the quote button.) I have a Trio SSVM that works fine for measuring dB for audio stuff. I bought it when rebuilding a Teac R2R deck.
I was able to bring one of the 8050’s back to operation yesterday evening with a good cleaning. One switch was a bit reluctant but nothing four applications of Deoxit couldn’t fix. It has a DB mode like the HP, but for adjusting tape head bias the analog meter is hard to beat.
I might pick up an 8060A just because. They are neat handheld DMMs.

But for some reason, the Brits of the day were inordinately fond of them!
The almost universal reaction amongst Australians was Yukk!!!
