Default Re: AVO CT160. Supply set function does not work

Hello all and many thanks for valuable info.

Having read many threads etc. about this instrument I have decided not to muck about with it too much. I have emailed Benchmark Ludlow to see what they can do. As said in my last post I recovered a meter movement from a junked VSWR amplifier but it was 100 ua fsd. What I did do was to temporarily hook it up to the CT160 meter connections and set the instrument to "set", with previous bodged meter it would not move, however this 100ua meter moved straight away albeit only approx. 1/3 across the scale, this confirmed to me that the original bodge was the problem,and not resistor etc circuity. I will see what Benchmark comes back with. as for RAF Sealand we live about 3 miles away, when I was a kid we lived about 1/2 mile from RAF Hawarden [MU47], when they vacated [well before Sealand] we used to play in the empty workshops etc. as for Sealand there was acres of instruments there. I often wonder what happened to it all [sigh]. anyway thanks to all for valuable guidance.
