You might want to check the battery, it's for the ohms measurement only. The probe for dc volts probably uses a 1 meg series resistor in it. To answer your question Yes. And it would be a Vacuum Tube Volt Ohm Meter vtvom.

What the heck is VTVW? Or does W stand for M upside down?

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
