Picked up this old Simpson 260 at an Amateur Radio swap meet (Hamfest) a while back.. I had to clean it up, and put batteries and test leads on it. I have less than $10 bucks in it now I guess with those. It is from 1959, but all ranges seem to work. I thought it might come in handy, you can never have too many meters, and I was down to 1 analog meter. Sometimes a digital is better, sometimes and analog. Just depends on what you are doing. Digital's are best for accuracy but they suck trying to use them for tuning up things with a dynamic variable voltage.

Yup, got one of them too. Mirror scaled Simpson 260, Sears meter, and RCA Institutes RF generator.Here you go. My father was a radio repairman in the 30s, 40s & 50s. I believe he got this in the early 50s. Its been sitting in the attic since then. Maybe I should eBay it.

Wow, three pages of responses from old school geeks. Simpson 260 was what was used for teaching basic electronics when I joined the Air Force in 1980. Thanks for the flashback.
