That's an interesting device.
Is your Photo part of the Megger Museum collection?


We only had one logged on this Survey before your recent AvoMinor List,
and that belonged to Mike.
Serial No 593-958, so I guess it is likely that nearer 600 were made.
We now have Three Recorded.

So, was this an Avo Meter in the true sense, or something built for and to a Client Specification?
Or was "Protim Ltd" an Avo Company I wonder?



Mike,

Thanks for the extra info on the Type E cases.

I know the Type E is DC only, but to avoid confusion with the
earlier DC AvoMinor, I will refer to it in the Survey Document as a Model 1 Type E.
As apposed to a "Universal AvoMinor" Type E which would add to the confusion.

Do you still have your Protimeter?

Ian,
No I am afraid I do not own a Protimeter. I have serial numbers for 2 though. One I found a photo of online that has been converted into an ugly lamp, and the other owned by a member of another forum.

I am pretty sure Avo never assembled this product, I'm sure we just supplied the machined panel and some addition parts. I'll look into that.
Certainly not a company owned by Megger.
