I should add the short circuit would occur without removing the third prong ground of the VTVM, -120v of the VTVM ground to mains ground thru the case ground of the HP8601a where the signal ground lead in turn is connected to the chassis. So you will be directly shorting out the -120v DC supply through both test equipment.
