IM-5228

[Dave Wood]

Fellow Heathites:

As a follow up to Harvey's comments, I must admit while in love with the
IM-28/12/5228 series,  I could swear the IM-25 's meter movement has better
damping than the 28.  And yes Ideal made some nice movements.

>Thanks to everyone for their comments about the IM-5228 VTVM. I bought
>mine as a kit in the mid '70s. The selling point was the extra large
>meter. The unit is built like a tank - very military like in
>construction. It should last forever. The beautiful meter was made in
>Japan by Ideal Meter Company(wonder if they are still in business now!).

>Dave is right - tube meters are less affected by RF fields. Plus tube

>meter over a solid state one anyday.
