I don’t have a Simpson or a Triplett now but I do have a very contemporary old Hickok 203 volt-ohm-capacity-milliameter. Hadn’t gotten around to recapping it. I put the meter in the focus coil circuit and it jumped up but there was an obvious hitch in its get-along.
Maybe this meter maintenance issue deserves a new topic…a cursory web search didn’t find anything. I think that I need to get up to speed on cleaning and lubing that very delicate meter movement.
In the old days I suppose it would have been carbon tet and sewing machine oil – two things that aren’t likely to be found around the house these days.
BTW Don, I will triple check the wiring around the new electrolytics – some had been installed by the previous owner before I dived in and recapped the rest. Of course, I never make a mistake myself.
And, I’ll play around with that unwanted ripple in the alternate supply.
