Great work getting it to be a useful piece of vintage test equipment once again. The guy you bought the test probes is great when it comes to parts for and specific test probe sets for a particular unit. Happy and safe travels.
Have a safe and enjoyable trip Vern. Hope to see some nice videos from Thailand . I especially like watching them after coming in after shoveling a foot or two of snow :( .
I spy an EICO 249 in the back, an awesome vtvm! I have a 630-na that is fantastic, after replacing most of the resistors with Vishay Dales from a donor 630. I have my eyes on a 631. Appreciate the video!
I knew those existed , but I never noticed one on the bay until now .... I only look on there when looking for something , it's not a favorite hangout of mine .... I do have a straight up 630 , not the 630 NA you have ........ Plus another that I call a parts donor , I got it for spare parts , I never tried it when I got it .... The back cover was in better shape than mine ...... I also have a mint condition RCA WV-77 E VTVM , those VTVM are great for aligning 2 way radio receivers ... Take Care Mon Ami ....
Thanks for this! I have a 630 A that I'm trying to fix, but it's missing the ac rectifier. Is there any chance you could give some details about that part? It's the only part in the schematic without any details, just X I'm going to go watch your video about meter balancing next, mine is way out of balance!
Very nice VTVM. The reason for no range at the VTVM for 300VDC is IMHO that the VOM already has 20k/V x 300V = 6MOhm compared to the 11M of the VTVM. No big deal.
Nice job on a great instrument. Your "grumpy" comments on yourself is so hilarious... give yourself some more credit. Anyway it is a shame how some people abuse these old meters as if they're utterly worthless. To the contrary these are so well-built, real old-fashioned quality, and very useful in many situations. They're amazingly accurate as well when handled properly. Have a great time in Thailand, and send us a video after consuming a extra-nuclear Pad Thai.... I had one years ago, in a thoughtless moment, delicious, but my tortured cries were audible for miles.

A portable VTVM, very nice Vern 👍🙂
Hey Vern excellent job. I know you have been back for a while and it’s good to see the videos rolling along. Keep them coming.
Nice work on a nice instrument.
Enjoy your trip to Thailand Vern. Very interesting piece of equipment that I did not know existed.

Good job! Enjoy your time in Thailand. I look forward to more of your hiking videos!
I've never seen that model, thanks for sharing!

I have one of these in like new condition in the original leather case. If anyone is interested in buying it - yes it works!
I also have have the 630 VOM with original Red manual. The 280 battery is also original and still good!
