Please note: I still keep a couple of DVMs and the really important thing
is the ***PROBE*** - and having the balls to use it at 32kV (which TBH I
must admit I don't have). But it is *well* out of DIY range, let's face
it.


Is there anything that most all of us would need to measure up there at
that voltage, seeing that CRT's are almost extinct now?...

There never was, for most people. For electronic folk there's still microwave ovens, occasional HV power transmission, vintage tv, and other occasional/extreme projects. DIY x-rays anyone?
