Re: AVO Multimeter survey
I assume this is the Meter being spoken about!
It hasn't sold, as the Auction is still running until 13:16 this afternoon.
Unless there was more than one available.
As to whether or not the Avo 8 was ever shrink wrapped onto a Card
of not, I certainly haven't seen it before, but then, I've never had the
opportunity to see a Boxed Avo 8 Mk V, VI or VII.
It looks legit to me, as I have seen equipment from other makers in the
past packed like this.
Looking at the Photos, it looks like the Cardboard it is Shrink Wrapped too,
would fold around the entire Meter and goes inside a regular Avo Box, which
is clearly missing.
Regarding the Switches, it can be seen that the right hand Switch has been
rotated under the Plastic.
Something I have to say, I would find difficult to resist if I owned it, if only
to check they actually rotated.
Looking at the impressions in the Plastic, it was clearly set to the DC/Off
position which one would expect.
Regarding the Price? Why not?
It cost more than it's current Bid price when new, when the £ was actually
worth something.
Find another like that.
Personally, I wouldn't buy it, simply because I wouldn't be able to use or
play with it without destroying it's unique condition.
