I know it isn't tubes, but whaddabout your 610C?
It does have a needle, so I have to think a little.

Walt: Daddy what's gradual school?
T. S. Garp: What?
Walt: Gradual school. Mommy say's she teaches at gradual school.
T. S. Garp: Oh Gradual school is where you go to school and you
gradually find out you don't want to go to school anymore.

Well, it is hard to read a needle to 5 or 6 decimal places.

Well, it is hard to read a needle to 5 or 6 decimal places.
