Equipment Description: Vacuum Tube Voltmeter

Label Write-up:
A multipurpose vacuum tube volt meter (VTVM) used for troubleshooting electronic circuits. This is the first Heath product to use a printed circuit board "XXXP laminated phenolic with 0.00135 copper foil". The V7 / V-7A meters had several circuit improvements that finally satisfied the engineers. This circuit was used on all future HeathKit volt meters.

This multi-purpose VTVM was the largest selling selling instrument of its type and is especially popular in laboratories, service shops, home work shops, and schools. It has a 4 1/2" panel meter, precision 1% resistors, etched metal circuit board, and many other extras to insure top quality and top performance. It is easy to build and is reliable and accurate.

Heathkit equipment only came as a kit to build at home. But they had an excellent reputation for clear and easy to follow instructions.
