The James Millen meters are excellent, especially the solid state one. I've

Does anybody here have any honest-to-goodness experience with Grid Dip
Meters?

Over the years, I have owned them all- Heath tube, solid state, tunnell (
probably the worst or maybe the MFJ add on kit for the 259 analyzer is the
worst), Knight, Millen, Eico. Heads above all the rest are the Measurements
model 159. You can take a 1 meter rod- hold the dipper head 2-3" away from
the center (current loop) and get a huge deflection at 150 MHz. Never saw
another meter that would do that at any distance.
I keep spare heads, tubes and coil sets in case of disaster.
