Default Model 40 Universal AVOMeter

A friend gave me an AvoMeter Model 40 yesterday as he was having a clear out.

I might have passed over this one as I have a Model 8 that I use regularly, but I collect aircraft equipment and the A.M. mark got me interested.

It was very dirty, but after a good soak with weak mixture of water and washing up liquid and the use of a nail brush and tooth brush it started to look presentable.

On the bottom I found the inscription.

"Master AvoMeter Do Not remove from the ELec Bay, New Issue 5/5/58"

A nice bit of history.

I redid the engraving with some "KiwkFill" crayon and it is a smart addition to my collection.

It does not work, but what the heck, maybe a job for another day.
