[Test-Equipment] Identify antique test gear

[John King]

Richard, thanks for the email. Could you provide me with the circuit for the battery adapter? Also where are the probes available, if you know. It appears to use some type of pin probe. What type of probe and connection does the 5KV multiplier use. 73, John, k5pgw

   As others have posted the TS-352 is a multimeter. The 
"kit" is an addition that allows voltage measurements to 
5KV. I made simple adaptors to use AAA batteries in place of 
the original 4.5 volt ones.
   I use mine frequently because it has both 1000 volt per 
ohm and 20,000 volt per ohm deviders. The 1000 V/Ohm is 
useful for much old equipment where the voltage charts were 
made with such a meter. While the higher resistance is more 
accurate it can be misleading when measuring old equipment. 
For instance, the voltages specified for the Hammarlund 
SP-600-JX are all made on a low resistance meter except for 
the grid voltages which specify a VTVM. The only drawback to 
the thing is that its quite heavy.
