YES!! I remember Radio Shack! A great way to while away a couple of hours on an afternoon. And yes, I still have my VTM as well....

Back before the internet, there was Radio Shack. Anyone remember them? They
had EVERYTHING electrical and electronic that your feeble minds could
imagine. I bought a VTM vest pocket sized. I still have it. In the very tip
top center of my big shop roll-a-way. For quick voltage or continuity
checks, an analog tester is indispensable. Better than a digital one for
this. I also have a Fluke 77. Also a variety of idiot light testers.
