Default Re: AVO Multimeter survey

Really fantastic survey results. I added the Braille meter, having obtained it from a forum member. I did not realise he had already added it.

I was investigating at work whether we held any sales records for Avometers. Sadly, it seems not! So much data was lost/discarded once computers came online. However, I am gathering some detailed data on product builds.

In 1965 when avo manufactured the millionth avometer from here in Dover; 12 special instruments were produced. These were given the serial numbers 1,000,000-01 to -12, and had the front panel machined to accept this unique serial label. They were also placed in a presentation box. The 12 were handed out at an Avo held event to some industry bigwigs. I wonder how many of them still exists somewhere!!
