Any Navy Electronics Technicialns in the group?

[randyrls]

This week I saw a recent YouTube video and noticed the person was using a Simpson 260 multimeter. I remember in the 70's using these. On a whim, I checked and you can still buy these!!??!!!!

That's staying power!:good::good:

I have an old analog Triplett meter that still works.
I also own several digital Flukes, Volcons, and various other meters.

My son has his grandfather's Simpson multi-meter. Great item to have around. Dad used it in his business.

Possibly the best Analog meter ever made. I still have a 260 in the original rolltop case, and it's still the best thing for tuning circuits to peak.

I still have mine and use it every now and then!

Well if you consider a ET Nuke an actual electronics technician, yep. Still have a simpson 260, just need to get new test leads for it. I use fluke digital meters a lot, but nothing beats the 260. Learned on one in the navy when the only digital meters we had were flukes designed to be kept on the work bench.

Nope, Marine Aviation Electronics here. I remember being taught in Memphis A School (hmmm, Navy base) what a Simpson could do that the new digital meters couldn't. Of course time has changed things and we have handheld scopes the size of digital meters. Since I went O-Level in a rag outfit in Lemoore, CA (hmmm, another Navy base) we never used meters anyway. Lol.
