I have a "N.R.I Tester" (one tube VTVM) that my dad built in the 1940's
as part of an NRI electronics course he took. When I was in high school
(about 1973) I built a powersupply to replace its Battery pack. It worked
good then (except for a Humm from the Powersupply, wouldn't happen with
the original battery power source, in the Signal trace mode on the headphones).

I am sure it would still work if I hooked it up now (but I lost my
Powersupply I made for it).
