Default Re: AVO Multimeter survey

I must get myself down to Specsavers!

The AvoDaptor Box I have actually shows a picture of a Model 5
on the Side.

So I think that probably confirms that the one I have is a slightly
later version to the one that sold recently on Ebay.

The one on Ebay is a 4 / 5 Pin version.
The Fifth Pin can be disconnected by pulling up the Knob in the center
of the Five Pin Plug, making it effectively a Four Pin Plug instead.

The Later one I have, is a 4, 5 and 7 Pin version and comes with an
adapter plug.
Typical of Avo of the time, the adapter is very cleverly designed to plug into the
Base Seven pin Socket to make it 4 or 5 Pin Socket, or it can be connected
to the flying lead 5 Pin Plug making it a 7 Pin Plug.

The adapter has two connections on its side to facilitate the Two extra Pins
on the plug in the 7 Pin configuration.
