Default Re: AVO Multimeter survey

My list of pristine working Avometers:

Avometer 9SX Test Set Steel Clad. Serial No. 817-15-361 Part 13574-5 Type 5QP/17447 (this version does not have the fuses in the battery compartment)
Avometer 8 MKIII. Serial No. 24789.965
Avometer Heavy Duty. Serial No.5892-1069
Avometer 8 MKII. Serial No. 97588-C1059
Avometer 8 MKI. Serial No. 41354-C-1255
Avometer 7 MKII. 83298-A-160
Avometer 8 MKII. Serial No. 56847.467
Avometer Model 40 Part No. 3284-149 (No Serial Number on Dial)

I have quite a few Avometers as shown in in photo plus a few of the storage cases. Its amazing that these are quite accurate to <1% and are usable. I keep them as museum pieces (batteries removed!) but I occasionally take one out of storage and check it. I have owned the 8 MK5 and MK6 but sold them since they do not have the same appeal as the older models. Although there is a fair bit of technical information on the internet I cannot find much about the Avo factories and the people who worked there. It would be great to find out more.
