Default Re: Avometer Model 40 Special (7.5mA FSD)

1) Early spelling of 'shews' on instruction plate.
2) Case ground away at top corners, view of battery box.
3) Case ground away at bottom corners, and all the way along the bottom.
4) Note extensive use of nickel plated fixings and hex shaped P pillar.
5) Just about visible, one of the previous set of threaded holes for casing screws...Note that the composite tape is applied AFTER all 8 of these orifices were made. (There are 16 holes in evidence in total)

AC and DC voltage ranges within spec- despite magnetic shunt being at it's minimal position. DC current ranges show signs of life, AC current ranges- TBA.

I do like fettling but must admit it's a relief not to have immediate and obvious leaf switch clearance problems in an Avo of this age.
