One of my uncles died 45 years ago and his house is only now being sold. My cousin has been clearing out the loft which has not been touched since he passed away. Yesterday she gave me an AVOMETER Model 8 MKII complete with original leads and a 16-page instruction booklet.

It is in very good condition, but I was not looking forward to opening the battery compartment. I just have and to my surprise there was no leakage in either battery after at least 45 years of storage.

“Made in Britain” it says on both batteries!
