[Boatanchors] Another Unusual Part

[Tom Chesek]

I possess two sets of these solid state devices.  During the 70's I 
assembled a Heathkit IM-18 VTVM.  My father owned a Heathkit V-7A which he 
assembled late 50's/early 60's.  When Heathkit offered the solid state 
upgrade we both purchased them.  Dad passed away in 2001 so I now own 2 
Heath VTVM's with this upgrade.  The upgrade was called "Vacuum-Tube 
Voltmeter Modification Kit" designated "Model IMA-18-1"  The TR1119 SS 
Triode (replaces 12AU7) is Heath part #150-58 and the TR1002 SS Diode 
(replaces 6AL5) is #150-57.  The instruction sheet does not contain any 
schematic or internal information about the devices.

I believe that pair was intended to convert a classic VTVM to solid state.
