In Reply to: I love analog meters and well and my all time favorite is right here. posted by Michael Samra on September 26, 2016 at 13:46:19:
We used the Simpson 260 in High School electronics class, and our instructor always called it a "Simpson Meter" instead of a multi-meter. When I meandered back to electronics as a hobby a few decades ago, I was aghast when I went looking for a Simpson and was met only with blank stares. When I described what I meant, I would typically hear in response "Oh, you mean a Fluke?"
I still use the 260 and my old Radio Shack knock-off, as well as the couple of DMMs I have around the place, of course.
