I have a VOM with vacuum tubes in it tha tmy dad built after returning from Korea . I built my first guitar amp with my dad , a Heathkit .I helped him build color TV's for some of the family members cause they were so expensive to buy in their early days . Our first color TV had a remote for turning on & changing the channel . The remote had a 20' cord & there was IIRC a solenoid on the back of the channel switch that ya could hear out in the garage anytime someoe changed channels . My bedroom was above the family room & my folks couldn't use the remote after I went to bed cause it woke me up . . I had a bud that had a 42 Dodge pickup with a tube radio , we'd hop in the truck to smoke a joint & turn the radio , after 3-4 minutes it came on full blast & always made us jump .

What was surprising about project was the number of views.
Most time with machine and weld I am lucky to see a few hundred.?
This one is over 63,000 views on something that has not been built since the 1970's.?
?I was going to use tube 12AU7 but cost of transformer was high . Next was a transistor at last a chip work better than tube. The chip cost under $2.00.
By this time the front was made with the world Transistor VTVM.?
I used a lathe for making the probes and a mini lathe would have been great
