Repair Help on 1936 Philco Cathedral Radio
#24

I just have an old Heathkit VTVM I use alignments and testing pots. The VTVM were made for long time by comparison to the fet models which had short run before digital models came out. Somewhere around the mid '60s to the early '70s
You can use a digital meter they are high impedance. But they are hard to read cause readings are shifting while you are trying to read them.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
