You very well could make separate probes for it. My Dad has a later solid-state Heathkit VOM and I believe that it has separate probes for DC and AC/Ohms. You would just have to remember to use the correct probe but it might be easier to remember to switch probes than to switch the switch. Especially if you use two different colored probes.
