Re: AVO Multimeter survey
Not sure I would be quite as hard as calling it "in Woeful Condition".
I thought for the most part it looked pretty good to excellent, especially
bearing in mind it will be nearly 100 Years old now.
I suspect it will probably sit in somebodies Collection and not be fixed,
which might not be a bad thing.
Lets hope inexperienced Hands don't get to meddle with it and the new
owner knows of its historical importance. I suspect they do hence the price paid.
The Movement was clearly damaged for whatever reason, but I have
successfully repaired a Movement that looked far worse on a Model 5, so there
is always hope the Meter could be bought back to life in the right Hands.
If it was bought by somebody on the Forum, I doubt we will ever find out,
which is the real shame as a thread on a Model 1 repair would be very
informative.
