Anyway upon tightening it the unit came back to life. I used some switch cleaner on the relevant parts and pots and I think it's all fine and dandy. Seems relatively accurate compared to my dmm.

I'm wondering how these were calibrated now? And if there is still a service that does it professionally and for a reasonable price.

Thanks again all!
Well done. This was the same fault as my Dad`s 8 MkII had about 40 years ago, I guess AVO didn`t always do their screws up properly. No trouble since, mine now.
