Why use an analog meter ?

Please tell me why analog meters are more useful or better.

An analog meter is like a low frequency oscilloscope. Jerks and movement in the needle let you know that there are time variations in what you are measuring, extremely useful in trouble shooting. A digital meter only tells you what the average value was during the sample time of the meter. DVM's are only good for measuring values that are in a steady state.

Lots of them on ebay.

MOP CAP phrased it best when he said an analog meter is like a low frequency scope. With a digital meter I have more trouble telling whether changes in readings are normal or due to something significant, but with an analog meter I can almost always tell the difference instantly.

If you do that much troubleshooting and if readings are so critical for analysis, why not buy an oscilloscope ?

Modern 'scopes are capable of multiple on screen readings as well as visual aides to troubleshooting.
