That's a nice meter, and a good repair. I was given a very badly abused one of these a long while back, the covers for the terminals are missing, the 2 smaller knobs are broken, and the front case is broken in half with a bit missing. It looked most un-promising, and I was going to offer it here for free to whoever wants it, or worse still, bin it! In the end I decided to try it out, and surprisingly it works quite well, despite it's condition. I've since glued the front back together, and I'm contemplating giving it a coat of paint, if I can find something that won't chip off easily. I decided to keep it after that, and maybe loose a broken Avo 8 and a GEC selectest. I'll have to look for that manual you mention, as the spacers in mine are just where they looked like they fitted!

Regards,
Lloyd.
