VTVM Battery

[Allen Bush]

Back when I worked at Heath in St. Joseph in the late '70s I remember they
had a modification used "internally" in service dept., etc. for eliminating
the 1.5v "C" cell that their common VTVM's used.  As I recall, it consisted
of a diode, a resistor, and a capacitor.  It was written up in one of
Heath's internal tech notes.  DOES ANYONE RECALL THE PARTICULARS OF THIS
MOD?  It seems it may have affected performance a bit on the lowest Ohms
scale (may have had to reset zero for that range?) but otherwise worked
great.

I would sure like to install this in the several VTVM's I have, and others
might as well.
