Sorry, was just asking. I scored a Lakeshore meter from our local engineering department which was going to toss the unit. I was really dumpster diving that time, but the unit works and came with two probes in 90 degree different orientations.
Funny after getting it, I rarely use it. I used to use a simple fluid filled compass (Silva) to gauge magnetic fields ( seeing how far away I could place it before the needle deflects).
This was in the days of shielded center channel speakers, important for the older CRT sets. I was purchasing a lot of mu metal in order to ameliorate the magnetic effects, a waste, actually, but I did learn a lot. Channeling the field was more important than actually shielding the field... And by channeling the magnetic field you could reap further sonic benefits ( and video ones too).
