Question for all: why won't a digital VM work? Only think I can think of is a DVM has a higher impedance which,
theoretically at least, gives a more accurate reading.
The manual always specifies a 'moving coil voltmeter;' but could that be because DVMs weren't common or even available
in the late '50s/early '60s when they were written?
