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.
