[Elecraft] tools 2

[Timothy A. Raymer]

David,

I would recommend doing some work on your Simpson if you like it.  Since it 
is a VTVM, you may need to get a new tube for it.  And, I would recommend 
replacing the electrolytics in it as well.  There may be other 
non-electrotics in it as well that may have changed in value as well.  But 
with some normal maintenance on the parts, you should be able to have it be 
claibrated and be as good or better than new!

since you already have a DMM handy, I think you will enjoy your VTVM after 
a bit of TLC.  (Besides, it gives you something to tinker with after the 
Elecraft stuff is all built!!)
