The Weekend Observation Quiz. X Rated.

Zoomup
In the old T.V. series Danger UXB in episode 10 there is an AVO meter used.


Q.1. Which model is it?


Q.2. What is the location of the old power station shown?


WARNING. There are some soppy bits and some biological scenes that may offend some viewers with a weak constitution. But the series was shown on T.V. in the late 70s so can't be too shocking.


I love Judy Geeson. What a fine actress.

Good luck,

    Potential:

    The AVO is a Mk 7, not sure of the model probably iii.

    I've a large collection of them.

    At a quick glance a few minutes ago I could only find 6 of them all Mk 8 iii which is by far the best IMO.

    The Mk 7s had the writing on the knobs which eventually wore off.




    Are you sure that the scale is correct for a Model 7?


     




    I've had a clear out of my workroom and most of my meters are in the loft suitable wrapped up and I'm not crawling up there today.

    As I much prefer the model 8 to any other produced I didn't put them all up there.

    ( the more modern AVO variations where the scale does not match the aperture are rather ugly) 

    The reason I said it was a model 7 is because the mirror is much more in keeping compared to a model 40 which had a much thinner version.

    I have found a model 40 spare meter scale and I agree that the scale is the same but the mirror is different.
