This is the same as the serial number given for the only mk1 multiminor listed in edition 4 of the survey (PS are mk1's rare, or people just haven't bothered listed them?)
Anyway, it would seem likely that the number is NOT a s/n, but rather a moulding identification.


Hope this has been helpful.

Firstly, my apologies if I'm covering old ground here, I've only just joined and have been reading like mad & just noticed this.
I have a multiminor Mk5 and the numbers marked inside the bakelite housing are much the same as Steve's Mk1 Multiminors. Pt No 50102-A/2 IMP No4 in mine.
I can also find a number on the bottom of the "Scale" under the words "Multiminor Mk 5". I had to use a magnifying glass but the number 98606 is impressed into the metal scale. Is this a serial number.
I have to say that I really like this meter although it is the only AVO I have used since I worked for the electrical retailer Comet in the mid 1980's when I was given a large size Mk 8. Loved that AVO.
Regards ..... Gary.
