Aw geez, now I gotta buy anudder piece of equipment. Jes' when you think you have everything.....

Thanks! I've got some old Heath stuff - I'll have to see what I've got stashed away. I may have one of them varmits. Probably similar to my Sprague tester's eye tube checks - some kind of reactance vs value check.

Cheers,
