I have just had a cheapo Korean meter die from a overdose of HT, Ouch!
So I fancy getting my hands on the real thing at last. I loved the AVOs we had at College when I did Electronics Servicing. (AVO 8 Mk8 I think).
How important is calibration with a older AVO. I have noted some AVO 7s on ebay. Some have screw terminals only, others incorporate socket connections for the probes. About when did they do this?
If I win the one I am bidding on i'll get back to you with the serial number.
