Hi all,
I have recently discovered an Avometer 8 Mark 1......given to me by a neighbour.
It seems to have all of the original leads, leather carry case and working instructions booklet.

The serial number on the right hand side of the scale is 3246-C-252, so I'm assuming it is a February 1952 Mk 1 meter.

I have used the meter to measure the voltage of a household AA cell and it gives 1.5V on the 2.5V, 10V and 25V DC scales. I have not opened the battery compartment or tested any AC or resistance switch ranges.

If anyone wants any photos of the meter please PM me your email address.

Cheers, Brett
