Default Re: AVO Multimeter survey

Ah ! The dangers of hearsay evidence !

As PMM rightly states, if it has a DIV2 button it's certainly NOT a Model 3,
but NOR does it have 20 ranges.

However, one of our number has (or claims to have !) a Model 3 from December 1935,
and its serial number is consistent with a (statistically verified) production volume of 100 to 150 per month throughout the product's lifetime to that date.

Your Model's serial number would seem to continue that trend for the intervening 14 months,
(and I have no EVIDENCE as to when Model 3 production stopped - the Survey is thin on Models "3", and totally transparent on Models "4" and "5".

Clearly I shall have to sub poena (by PM) the witness for the December 1935 exhibit.

Perhaps PMM would see me in chambers ...
