I am restoring a Eico VTVM model 221. The DC requires a test lead with shielded wire and a 15M resistor in the probe. It did not come with the leads. I have all the connectors and the resistor, but need shielded cord. Can I just cut the ends off a guitar cable to make one? I dont want to buy a whole roll of cable, which willnever get used after this project. I also considered the cable for CB radio antennas, but thats darn stiff. And tv ant coax has that funky aluminum foil for shielding, and is also stiff.
What else can I use?
I will use this meter for tube radios in the RF and IF stages, so I do need the shield.
