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.

    I have an old model 7, original leads hopelessly perished but very handy when you want to measure volts with a bit of load (well a few k).  I used to have the separate Power Factor and Wattage unit but lent it out ages ago so that is lost.


    This model has a spring overload cutout to protect the meter, bullet proof.




    Oh yes - trying to measure volts on the amps range!
