This auction is for a completely assembled 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. This is hand assembled by me from my popular Deluxe VTVM probe kit sold here on eBay, using my methods and good attention to detail.+ The unit is presented in a Labeled, Retail Quality, Reusable, 4 Mil Poly Ziplock Bag and is wrapped with a Reusable Velcro Strip to keep the leads organized and ready. (For 3 Wire units like Heathkit V4/5/6/7 units a different wire setup is used - see my other auctions or my eBay store for Assembled sets and Complete Kits) 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. The probes are built from my kit which is composed of the following items (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 Rubber Test Lead Wire (Very Flexible - High Quality) for the Ground Lead 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 use shielded black RG174 for the 2 leads and Black test probe wire for the ground. I Use these probes on my Heathkit IM-11,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) Thanks for looking! 73's KK4HXJ Powered by eBay Turbo Lister The free listing tool.
