I purchased a Olson VTVM at a sale recently for 50 cents--always wanted

Question: Any practical value of a VTVM on my tool bench over a
digital VOM?

Thanks

Any time you need to peak something, an analog meter is better than
a digital one. I have a DVM that has an analog scale, but it's
sluggish since it's not an actual analog meter. I had thought
years ago that we'd be seeing little analog meters built into
digital meters, but that never became commonplace. I had expected
a small meter, with only a relative scale, on the level of a
signal strength meter in a stereo receiver.
