Hi

I have just bought an AVO Heavy Duty meter in absolutely cracking condition complete with a brilliant leather carrying also with what looks like an almost new let of genuine AVO leads, prods and croc clips.
All I had to do was change the battery and away it went.

I have it on the AC and DC ranges and also the ohms ranges and it is OK.

I have never seen one of these before, it looks like a 3/4 size AVO 8 but with only 1 selection knob, it's serial number is- 8272-971 which I believe means that it was made in September 1971.

I have no idea what it's worth but if someone could give me an idea.

Regards

Bill
