If you're working much with analogue circuitry, particularly with
low-frequency events, it's still hard to beat a good old VTVM. Watching a
low-speed waveform go by with the meter needle set to center-zero just
can't be quite duplicated with digital displays. Reading resistances, on
the other hand, is very nice to do digitally.
I've still got my very old Mercury. Still works--old Reliable.
