This kit includes the hardware and wire needed to build a set of test probes for most Heathkit (IM-11,13,18,28,5218,5228) Vacuum Tube Volt Meters and many others that use a single 1/4" phone style meter connection. (For 3 Wire units like Heathkit V4/5/6/7 units you will need additional banana plugs and slightly different wire setup - see my other auctions for A Complete Kit for these units) Typical application involves using one probe for DC Measurement (with the resistor installed) and the other probe for AC/Ohms Measurement. This dual probe setup, serves as a substitute for the mostly missing or incomplete original test probe which used a switch at the tip of the probe to switch the Resistor in/out of the circuit. Included in this version of the kit (many of which are hard to source economically): 1 Pair of Test Probes - 1 Red/1 Black 1 1/4" Mono Phone Plug w/Metal Housing and Clear Heat Shrink Sleeve 1 1Meg Ohm 1 Watt Resistor 1 Alligator Clip & Heat Shrink Tubing 2 Laminated Self Adhesive Probe Labels and Clear Heat Shrink Tubing to cover the probe labels, resulting in a professional and durable setup (see photos) 2 36" lengths of RG174 Coaxial Wire (used for DC & AC/Ohms test Leads) (Very Flexible - makes a great test lead) 1 36" Length of 18 Gauge Silicone Test Lead Wire (Very Flexible - High Quality) for the Ground Lead And also includes an emailed copy of a .PDF document describing the steps for building the test leads according to my method - most of the photographs are included in this auction listing. The original instructions specify shielded cable for the leads, the original supplied wire was a coaxial microphone style wire, many people use either standard (unshielded) test probe wire for the leads or a shielded coaxial cable, I Supply 2x36" pieces of black RG174 for the 2 leads and 1x36" piece of Black silicone test probe wire for the ground I Use these probes on my Heathkit IM-13,IM-18 and IM-28 meters with excellent results, and these meters are indespensible for working on Vintage Radio Gear (And I prefer them to my more modern FET meters for this type of work) There are several versions of these kits including a basic kit, deluxe kit and this deluxe kit with wire, I will offer completed probe sets soon, please check my other auctions. Attached is a photo of a completed set of test probes using this kit. The kit will be placed in a padded mailer and shipped with tracking no extra charge for additional units.
