[Heath] WTB/WTD Heathkit probes

[Chris Kepus]

OK Ken, I do have an extra.  

It'll cost ya, though!  Either First Class shipping or Priority Mail, your
choice, you pay shipping.  
Plus, a picture of your SB-200 parasitic suppressors.  It will be a big help
to "see" the final configuration of them with the actual components in place
and how you mounted them in not too much space.
Let me know if you want to accept this deal...  I'll need mailing info and
your choice of shipping.
73,
Chris

Correct. I have never had one, have never even seen one, so I don't know
what they even look like. I have two Heathkit VTVMs here, a V-7, and a
EWU-24, neither one of which came with probes. 

The EUW-24 DID come with "Tube-sters" in it though. I yanked those and
installed a pair of new military "W" versions of the 6AL5 and the 12AU7.

At the moment, I don't know where I put the "Tube-sters" so don't anyone ask
yet. ;-)

probes??

RF, Demodulator, Low Capacity, and Peak-to-Peak. I think the RF probe can be
used with a VTVM, but the others, as far as I know, are designed for
'scopes.

Come to think of it, I would like to get the users manuals for those I have.
Those are the 309-C, 338-B, 337-C and 342.

I also have an unbuilt PK-2 probe, but the probe body parts are missing from
the kit.

Even so, the red/black/aluminum bodies are large enough that I can build a
probe for the VTVMs in one, complete with SPDT switch.

I have thought about building one using a Sharpie, and may do that yet, but
I think I would prefer the old large type probe. Getting a SPDT switch, even
a mini one, into a Sharpie is very difficult.

I have built a probe for my old Lafayette KT-208 Signal Generator/Tracer out
of 1/2" PVC pipe and an old VOM probe, but it is kinda kludgy, although it
works OK.
