Hi Gary,

 

You should have already received the info since I sent it to the general Heathkit e-mail address.  But, just in case, I'm ataching the info here.

 

Jim

You guys are "lucky" you still have some old guys around that still have their original Heathkit manuals!

 

I have the "manual" for the IMA-18-1 (actually only one 2-sided sheet) and will e-mail you a copy as soon as I can get my wife away from her PC which has our scanner attached!

 

Incidentally, the solid-state "VTVM" conversion isn't as tolerant to over-voltage as the old tube version (big surprise), something I found out years ago after the conversion.  So, my Heathkit VTVM is now back in it's original tube configuration.

 

I expect to send you guys the "manual" later on today.

 

Cheers!

 

Jim Locatelli

I recently purchased a IM-28 VTVM off of eBay and was quite surprised when I opened the case to clean it up to find it was solid state. It says VTVM on the front, and the meter also says Vacuum Tube Voltmeter. Does anyone have any history on this model? I would guess it was produced during a transition period between vacuum tube technology and transistor and they were just using up old parts, but would like to know more of the facts.
