Hi Dale, well, might I buy you a new VTVM, (Or rather an Electronic
Voltmeter these days) for one of the cabinets?

Harold -

I own a few modern multimeters, both digital and analog, which I use
for work. I also collect and restore tube-era instruments, and use
them to repair, restore and calibrate other instruments, as well as to
repair and restore antique radios. That is why the cabinets are not
available. In any case I would have to charge for an entire restored
and calibrated instrument, which a) is far more than the cabinet is
worth, and b) I would be loathe to part an instrument in my collection
in any case. :-)

On my list for both the
Orlando and Charlotte hamfests.

You should have no trouble finding one - several years ago I bought a
400D VTVM in quite decent condition at the Spencer NC hamfest for
$10.00. It didn't take much work to put it back into working order -
just some cosmetic work, then the usual switch cleaning and
calibration.
