Heathkit VTVM Probe Parts Kit - Deluxe - Test Probes/Plug/Resistor/Clip/More

Description: This auction is for the: -KK4HXJ - Deluxe VTVM Probe Kit (without wire) This kit includes all of the hardware (less wire) to build a set of test probes for most Heathkit (IM-11,13,18,28,5228) Vacuum Tube Volt Meters and many others that use a single 1/4" phone style meter connection. (V-4/5/6/7 units need additional banana plugs and slightly different Wire - see other auctions for A Complete Kit for these units or add a pair of Banana Plugs from my other auctions to customize this kit to your application ) I carry pin tip plugs, banana plugs and Switchcraft 2501F Mic Connectors in my Store Typical application involves using one probe for DC Measurement (with the resistor installed) and the other probe for AC/Ohms Measurement. This dual probe setup, serves as a substitute for the mostly missing or incomplete original test probe which used a switch at the tip of the probe to switch the Resistor in/out of the circuit. Included in this version of the kit (many of which are hard to source economically): 1 Pair of Solderless Test Lead Probes (Genuine Philmore 912/913J) - 1 Red/1 Black 1 1/4" Mono Phone Plug w/Metal Housing and Clear Heat Shrink Sleeve 1 1Meg Ohm 1 Watt Resistor 1 Alligator Clip & Heat Shrink Tubing 2 Laminated Self Adhesive Probe Labels and Clear Heat Shrink Tubing to cover the probe labels, resulting in a professional and durable setup (see photos) And also includes an emailed copy of a .PDF document describing the steps for building the test leads according to my method - most of the photographs are included in this auction listing. The original instructions specify shielded cable for the leads, the original supplied wire was a coaxial microphone style wire, many people use either standard (unshielded) test probe wire for the leads or a shielded coaxial cable. I Use these probes on my Heathkit IM-13,IM-18 and IM-28 meters with excellent results, and these meters are indespensible for working on Vintage Radio Gear (And I prefer them to my more modern FET meters for this type of work) There are several versions of these kits including a basic kit, this deluxe kit and a deluxe kit with wire as well as completed probe sets, please check my other auctions. Attached is a photo of a completed set of test probes using my deluxe kit with wire. I have shipped these probes and kits to several dozen countries and have received nothing but praise for bot the kits and probes, I think you too will be pleased with this simple and durable set to get that old meter back in service! I build and sell many probe and test lead sets click the link for current listings available in my Store: https://www.ebay.com/str/kk4hxj/Custom-Test-Leads-Test-Probes-/_i.html?_storecat=27854182016Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding this or any of my other probe assemblies or kits!
