The new digital volt meters are high enough impedance to replace the vtvm in
most tuning applications, although they are a bit more finicky to tune with.
But if you are slow and methodical, it will work fine. The vtvm needs to be
pulled down off the shelf and plugged in.

The plates of the capacitor are the rotor and stator. The rotor is grounded
through the shaft.

It is possible, especially n the higher frequencies to align the mixer to
the image, which is 910 kHz away.

Good luck. When you are finished, have a cold 807.
