I've had several of the RCA Voltohymst meters, and have not had what you would call good luck with them. I just finished restoring a Heathkit IM-18, and I'm not that thrilled with it, either. The Heathkit seems to be a bit "jumpy" on the lower voltage scales.

I had an Eico one time that had a huge face, and was a very nice looking meter, but the accuracy was terrible.

My favorite is the B&K 177. I've had several of these, and found them to be the most dependable. Most VTVM's require a battery for the ohm function, but the B&K meters use an internal power supply to eliminate having to mess with changing batteries.
