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.
