Hope this has been helpful.
It certainly has, thanks Steve.

I wonder if the BVWS would give permission, if approached, for that article to be reproduced here? I for one would like to read it, as I imagine would most contributors to this thread.

If I may be permitted a purely personal view, I feel that this thread should remain predominantly devoted to the analogue range of Avometers. Whilst DMMs have their place, I’m a firm advocate of the analogue multimeter in all branches of fault-finding and repair. Digital meters can confuse the unwary too!
