Dave,

Does your meter have 3000V (AC & DC) sockets at the top corners of the front panel? If it does, it is a Model 8 Mk V, if not it will be a Mark 6.

Functionally these are very similar but the Mark 6 has only rigid printed circuit boards whereas the Mark V has flexible printed wiring to interconnect the main boards. This change brought about a change in the range switch layout so that the voltage ranges are both on the inside radius of the switches in the Mark 6.
