Default Re: AVO 8 question.

I believe the facia finish is simply moulded. They had managed to get bakelite moulding to quite a sophisticated stage with fine detail. (Earlier ones are sometimes found to be warped, have inconsistent colour, little lumps in the surface or a spalled surface.)

Well the movement is a 37.5uA unit shunted up to 50uA; so have you the equipment to deliver very low current? (I have never tried this so get a second opinion in any case!)

The magnets were also fairly stable at this time of development, so unless they've suffered impact or been touched with ferrous tools things are hopefully within adjustment tolerance.
