Just acquired a nice combination of Universal AvoMinor and Avodaptor complete with test leads in a professionally-made carrying case. The meter has the earliest style of front panel, and if its serial number U.22666-125 is anything to go by, it could date from December 1935. I've not seen this combination in an Avo catalogue, and the case bears no "Avo" legends so it could be home-made, but it has been executed extremely well.

Apart from two open-circuit multipliers the meter is OK.
