My allowance was $7/month so I did not buy much. Visiting great-grandparents and they would give me $20. I remember the range-doubler was slowwww for the meter pointer to settle. That, and having to be awake to know to half the reading oh yeah and there is no fuse... when measuring current like all manly multimeters of the day, do not screw up! |

For me It was an Wavetek (Beckman Industrial) HD160, a gift from my defunct father, my small allowance could not pay for that, 300$ CAD at the time, and i was at age 14, into electronics I was building the Science et Vie magazine electronics projects, can't recall when they stopped doing that. It was the most good and beautiful meter i had in my youth, i gave it to my best friend who still use it 25 30 years later, i'm now at 53 While over the years i began "my tons of meters" purchase wanting this or that .... |O craziness who costed a lot now ending with Gossens ... :palm: last ones |

I bought it somewhere around 1978 and I had to save a lot of time to get the funds for such an expensive meter. I still have it today and is still working like new. --- End quote --- I had the same one. |
