I have around a dozen Avo's of various types which I will list when I get a chance.
Tonight I found my late father's Avo Minor Universal. On checking the battery, I noticed on the cover was penciled in his writing, 8/2/57. The battery read fine, so I put it back in the case, but pretty sure it was not the 1957 one.!!
Serial number on dial is U 129339-654.
Under those numbers Mod 1.
What date would this have been made ? 6/54 or 3/39 ?
On checking the DC range only the 5 volt range is working. Is there a circuit about on line ?
Mike.
