I am restoring a Eico VTVM model 221. The DC requires a test lead with
shielded wire and a 15M resistor in the probe. It did not come with the
leads. I have all the connectors and the resistor, but need shielded
cord. Can I just cut the ends off a guitar cable to make one?


** Probably be fine ,just cut one end off though - the 1/4 inch plug is needed !!!


I will use this meter for tube radios in the RF and IF stages, so I do
need the shield.


** DMMs don't come with shielded leads, only scopes do.
