today I got a VTVM from a co-worker. Its a heathkit that his dad used to diagnose and repairs radios in the 70s.

Can this be disaligned? Its a 2-tube circuit.
I read nothing at all in ohms.

in VCC I cannot decipher the readings... if I place it to 1.5V and read a battery that my digital voltmeter reads at 1.2V, it show something that varies between 7 and 9.

Maybe I need to do a recap job?
