An EICO 249 VTVM, Part 6b: Teardown, part 2.

The teardown of the EICO 249 continues. I found it advantageous to remove the second switch, so that will go into the ultrasonic bath before replacement.

Here’s what we’re removing:

And here’s what we had left:

I took most of the wiring out as well, since it was in bad shape. There’s also the matter of a tube socket not cooperating…stay tuned on that one!

Photos from the 2026 Columbus Hamfest

The Columbus hamfest didn’t have many outdoor vendors this year, there was rain on the way. It held off until later in the day, but things were still muted. There was still plenty to look at, and a decent enough turnout. I picked up a few items, so the day was pretty good.





Next show is the Cincinnati Hamfest, happening August 15th. See you there!
