Another walk down memory lane...  I had a EICO VOM that I built from a 
kit. I got a lot of use from it before a coworker managed to destroy it. 
The company replaced it with a Simpson 260 so it was a trade-up probably 
although I think EICO copied the Simpson. I did not lend that one out and 
also had the roll top case to protect it from clumsy wrench jockeys.

Back in the day you could get on an airplane with something like that.
