[Boatanchors] VTVM rebuild

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

I have an original Heathkit IM-13 large meter VTVM I built in 1963
and expect it would work just fine today, but I have two Fluke 77
DVMs, a really nice Chinese DVM, plus a new Simpson 260 VOM.

I did remove the batteries in the Heathkit meter and the 260 that
are used for the Ohms function so no corrosions are in these meters.
The IM-13 is in almost perfect physical condition (I'd say a 9.5).

I did just dig the Heath box out of the closet and powered it up
Meter stayed pegged at bottom of the Volt and Amp scales.

Analog meters have capabilities that are absent in most digital meters.
Tuning for peaks or dips is far easier with analogs!
