Default Re: DC Avo Minor.

Looks good so far, doesn't it? - one peculiarity to watch for when in use (or calibrating) is to not have your fingers resting on the front facia. The terminals are almost flush with the front on some DC Avominors and it is possible to skew the readings just by lightly touching one or more of the terminals, The safety of the high voltage ranges was, and is, limited by this design feature!

I have 2 of these, both of which i originally tested and then put to one side having considered them to have terminally damaged movements. When i got them out of their box at the weekend and carefully manipulated the movements back and forth, they both started to show signs of being ok.
