I forget the name of my first meter but I do remember it was a green metal box and you had to manually switch attenuator switches to match the tap value you were working at then you had to dial in your channel. It also had a built in Volt meter.
Used that for 4 years then got a SAM Jr. Thought it was the shit until I got a SAM, after that it was a Window, then Stealth and on and on and on it goes.
