Now that really brings back memories. One of the first kits I built as a kid was an Eico VTVM, model 221-K. I learned so much by playing with it. I used to measure skin resistance with it and I believed it could be used as a lie detector. It even picked up enough RF to be used as a field strength meter.

That's too bad. My experience (1956, Detroit Institute of Tech.) was
the opposite: My lab instructor was a ham. He knew I was, too; the
day before the first lab session he said, "You need this lab like you
need a hole in your head. Instead of attending the lab, take a few of
these VTVM kits home and build 'em for us! Different folks, different
strokes.
