A friend recently gave me an old analog Heathkit IM-5238 AC Voltmeter that he'd had for decades. It is in very good condition, but I very rarely work with AC equipment and I already have an old Fluke 75 DMM that another friend gave me several years ago. I use the Fluke constantly. I mainly repair vintage PC components and boards. Once in a while I do some work the audio equipment but it isn't my area of expertise.
Does the analog AC Voltmeter offer any practical benefits over the little Fluke 75? It is very large and very specialized (as opposed to a DMM that can test many different things) and I don't really have a large enough work area to have extra equipment like this set up if I will never use it.
