VTVM Probe Kit - Deluxe/Universal Kit - Parts to build Probe for almost any VTVM

Description: This lisitng is for the - KK4HXJ - Universal Series Test Probe Kit New selection of parts is designed by popular demand to supply a "turnkey kit" so that there is no need to attempt to adapt one of my existing kits to the various requirements of some of the rarer and lesser known meters out there. - many have purchased one of my popular IM and V Series kits to use as the basis for another meter probe by adding connectors or wire, this kit should solve most of these special order requirements. This kit includes the hardware and wire needed to build a set of test probes for most Vacuum Tube Volt Meters (aka VTVM's) In addition to the 3 Unnassembled Kits, I have sold hundreds of Kits and Assembled Probes with 100% Satisfaction Included in this version of the kit (many of which are hard to source economically) 1 Pair of Genuine Philmore Test Probes - 1 Red/1 Black 1 1/4" Mono Phone Plug w/Metal Housing 1 1Meg Ohm 1 Watt Resistor (a different value may be used in some meters) 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 for DC Lead (Very Flexible - makes a great test lead) 1 36" Length of 18 Gauge Black Rubber Test Lead Wire (PowerWerx brand Very Flexible - High Quality) for the Ground Lead 1 36" Length of 18 Gauge Red Rubber Test Lead Wire (PowerWerx brand Very Flexible - High Quality) for the AC/Ohms Lead 1 Pair Red/Black Silicone Banana Plugs 1 Pair Red/Black Johnson-Cinch Pin tip Plugs The original instructions for most meters specify shielded cable for the DC lead, the original supplied wire was generally a coaxial microphone style wire, many people use either standard (unshielded) test probe wire for the leads or a shielded coaxial cable, I Supply a 36" piece of black RG174 for the DC lead, for the AC/Ohms Lead I supply both a 36" piece of Red test probe wire (used with any pin or banana plug) and an RG174 (used with any mic connector or phone plug - you choose what you prefer in your application, finally a 36" piece of black test probe wire is supplied for the ground. you may add a Switchcraft 2501F if needed for your application (my sales links are supplied below): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Switchcraft-2501F-Microphone-Connector-VTVM-Probe-Connector-/232284683657?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT Other Common configurations involve using BNC Plugs and Jacks to replace some of the Esoteric Connectors like the Ultra-Rare connector used on Simpson 303, 311 and 312 Meters The Kit is packaged in a 5x7 ESD Anti-Static Zip Lock Bag (mostly because they are really cool, I got a good deal, and they are extremely useful!) Purchase also includes a copy of a .PDF document describing the steps for building the test leads for Heathkit (IM and V Series probes) according to my methods, however, you will need to adapt these techniques to your application as there are dozens of styles of meters covered by this kit. - I am also available to answer questions regarding assembly and parts requirements The instructions are supplied as a .PDF document - I will email you a copy of my instruction Sheet to the email address which is provided in the paypal transaction You will have some cool parts left over as you will never use all of the wire or plugs supplied.(some applications will use one each of the banana/pin tips, or both of the pin tips/bananas - but you will likely have some combination of 2 left) I have shipped these probes and kits to several dozen countries and have received nothing but praise for bot the kits and probes, I think you too will be pleased with this simple and durable set to get that old meter back in service!
