I spotted this cool post via the Adafruit blog, RobotGrrl, artist in residence at Evil Mad Science Laboratories, is posting about the process of unboxing and building a vintage AC voltmeter Heathkit:

Heathkits were electronics kits popular in the late 1940s and 1950s. We have a mint AC Voltmeter kit that we will be building up over the next few days! We plan to document the experience and share it with all of you! Read on for more delightful photos and descriptions!
I figured this might tickle the fancy of some of the folks here in the test and measurement group. Any doing any similar vintage builds? The post notes the Heathkit scope was very popular in its day, too.
Cheers,
