    Valve Voltmeter and Component Bridge.

    Uses a separate electronic probe fitted with D77 or 6AL5, which may be missing on collected examples (dual diode). The 6SN7 is a dual triode used as bridge amplfier for the moving coil meter. 50Hz or 60Hz supply. Some UK Home market variants are 190V to 260V 50Hz only and may use a series "bathtub" capacitor "dropper" on mains input.. Consumption about 17W. Metal Rectifier for HT.

    Easily transportable rectangular metal cabinet with handle on side. Must be used with an earthed mains.

    Version Identification

    1. MK I: The meter movement at the bottom of the panel and the switches above and used two EF50 pentodes (c1947 to 1950). Version not marked.
    2. MKII: This version using a single 6SN7. Version not marked.
    3. There is no MkIII
    4. MK IV:  used a 12AU7 (ECC82, etc). Marked as Mk IV,

    Lamps/Bulbs:

    • Movement 6.5V 0.3A
    • Dials 3.5V 0.3A x 2 (currently available 3.5A 0.2A will work)
