My new grid dip meter, the Heathkit GD-1B

I purchased a new (old) grid dip meter a local hamfest for $10, the Heathkit GD-1B. Built in the 1950's this grid dip meter still works great, no need to restore it and it came with a full set of coils.

I plan to use this for, among other things, finding the AL values of salvaged toroid cores.

    hard to find .
