I have just noticed this thread on AVO meters and have an AVO 7 No 9xxx2-A-185. There is little information on it but it is in a Hammer finish gray metal case. I don't know whether this is common as all I have seen before were black. I can't set it up on resistance range to give no change on switching between the ranges, this might just be the batteries. Can anyone comment?
I also have an old small Avo in a bakelite case stored away somewhere. It is not the common Avo minor as it has switched range selection and has the meter and selector switch side by side. When I find where I stored it I will let you have serial number and more details.

Regards John
