1950's Triplett 630 restoration and battery hack

[Pirate88179]

That meter looks like new now Bill, well done...keep it away from JT's though!!! The only old item I still have is a Yashica 8mm wind up movie camera from many years ago. I've work in electronics for well over 50 years but don't own any vintage test gear. I have several digital multimeters including one very expensive high performance model, however there was something very special about those old analalogue meters, great memories from times gone by... Splendid refurb job.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate that.  I have to admit the meter turned out better than I had hoped.  I hope folks learn from my WD-40 accidental discovery on the bakelite and those old grungy cords, makes them look brand new.  My brother saw the photos and can't believe it is the same meter.

Thanks again,

Bill
