While I was continuing to look for the culprit for my line voltage adjustment, I checked the meter resistance and it is 50 ohms. The meter checks electrically ok, but does get stuck some times. I had remembered when I was working on a EICO VTVM (this was a 221) that that meter was 50 ohms. I got the 221 and looked it over and except for the dial face its looked the same. I pulled it out of the meter and It is identical. I put the eico meter in the tube tester and its the same. unfortunately its the same meaning I still get the high reading, but it does solve the getting stuck issue.

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
