This gets my vote as well. Most likely because I could not afford one
when they were available new, but our club station had one that I really
liked. Of course I brought a SB-102 at a hamfest as soon as possible.

I would like to pose a related question: If Heath were to remanufacture
any single of test equipment, what would it be?

My vote is for the IM-13 VTVM (or its successors). Large meter, 10 turn
pots to zero and ohms adjust, cal pots accessable from the front, not
to mention its stability and, once calibrated, its accuracy (mine is
within 1% on the DC volts scales).
