Old VTVM's are great for alignments, as they do not "stutter" while tuning. Otherwise, fine and when warmed up, pretty good for relative readings. Usually battery leaks and voied ohms readings, and leaks further to take out a few more components. So long as meter movement is still good, can be saved pretty easily in an afternoon for a few bucks. Best of luck.
