Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Some choices for you with - pics

If I had only one meter it would be a Fluke Digital Multimeter (DMM). I actually own two of them. No longer own any analog meters but have used Simpson 260 series, Triplett, and Radio Shack Micronta.

New Simpsons are ridiculously priced IMHO. Buy a nice used one or possibly a new Triplett at a better price.

Amazon.com Pricing on VOMs:
Simpson 260-8 ($279)
Simpson 260-8P ($343)
Triplett 3018 ($126)
Triplett 3022 ($147)
Triplett 3067 ($147)

Simpson is located northwest of Minocqua, Wisconsin, 1 year warranty, approx $85 repair fee, $55 calibration fee, depending on specific model.

Triplett located in New England, 3 year warranty 1-800 customer support number. Half the price of Simpson, 3x the warranty, and still an excellent meter.

Fluke 115 True RMS DMM. About $135 +/- depending on source.

Visit Amazon.com and search on Simpson 260-8 or Simpson 260-8P or Triplett 3022, etc. You'll no doubt find slightly cheaper pricing by scouring the internet. Good luck!
