Also excellent quality & longevity are the later Farnell series. The later ones had a digital readout using LED devices, whilst the slightly earlier ones had analogue meters.

Often available secondhand on the web. Single & dual models were made.

I recently purchased a Thurlby-Thandar, very similar to the Farnell design & construction. Proper mains transformers, - also useful as a door-stop / heavy weight!

All those mentioned have proven very reliable & easily serviced.
