Does anyone still use an Avo Meter?

alanblaby
Yesterday, I bought, for the bargain price of £15, an Avo Meter 12, ex-RAF, still in its leather box, albeit without leads.

By the side of it was a mint condition Model 9, complete with leads and all accessories in its leather tool roll for £42. I was sorely tempted.

It's hard to believe I was using one of these in the early 90's, they look to be a tool of the 40's and 50's.

    Which is why Megger imitate the needle scale some of their meters with a bar scale and tell you to watch that whilst you are testing rather than the numbers.

    It's just not the same.


    The lazy swing of the needle as inertia and spring tension is overcome is so satisfying  or the mad dash to the right so you definitely know you have just broken it. No comparison with the digital clones.
