Anyone got an old VRA meter?

Post by Harv »

This may be a long shot, but can only try.

I'd like to get my hands on an old VRA (volts, resistance, amps) meter, similar to the one shown in the early workshop manuals:

I can meaure volts with my Jaycar-special voltmeter, but struggle to measure heavy DC amps. I'd also like the resistor setup to play with generators.

Any old autosparkies got an old VRA (dead or alive) they would part with?

Cheers,
Harv

Harv I've got a whole pile of testing gear in my eh SCC van. All of them have nobs and stuff on them like that. You are welcome to look at it all.

G'day Graeme,

Tried to send you a PM but don't think it got through. Definitely interested in the meter - would love to see some pics and an idea of how much you want for it.

Cheers,
Harv
