My immediate answer is yes, moving coil is the 'old style' analog voltmeter,
but why would they specify 'moving coil?' So I checked Wikipedia to be sure.
Some older analog voltmeters had vacuum-tube or FET amps to boost the signal to
the moving coil, and probably to increase input impedance. My guess is they
specified 'moving coil' to distinguish from the pre-amped type.

I may have a charging issue with my 3000.
The fan belt could be tighter and that'll be my first adjustment.
Thereafter....
Well, the BMC book, Section N, makes reference to testing with a "moving
coil voltmeter". Am I correct in my hope and supposition that this is an old
fashioned meter with a needle? (Like the one I've had for the last 20
years). Yes, I do know that the book dates back to the early 60s so digital
meters weren't around(?), but I don't know what else was around then.
Certainly, I was around but I thought then that all meters were the same ie
with a needle and presumably a coil...? A "moving" coil??
Any advice would be appreciated.
