[Heathkit] VTVM Solid State Replacements

Hi,

I have a couple of old VTVMs with some issues involving the tubes 
(burned circuit boards) or power supplies. I am using the power 
transformer from one donor to get a Simpson 312 running again, but that 
will leave me with two inoperative VTVMs. I am going to set them up with 
FET input op amps and solid state diodes to get some more life out of 
them. In all of the units the metering resistance networks and switches 
are still good and so are the big, mirrored meter movements. It would be 
a shame to scrap them.

Just a hint.

73,

Bill  KU8H
