Default Re: AVO Model 9 Mk IV variation

Well it would be interesting to see how many off these types of Mk IV's are out there!
Maybe we can build up a picture of when these were built.
Could be Model 8's as well, who knows.

The Serial on mine is: 1424-IV-969
Last Calibrated in Jan 1983
I guess this makes it an early-ish one, not sure the exact Date Mk IV's were released.

It also has a Black Plastic Case, rather than the Green Plastic.
Connection to the Panel is via Spikes on the PCB and Sprung Metal contacts as per
the original style Model 8 and 9's, although different materials have been used.
Not the Flying Leads found on the normal Mk IV's.

I do not own a Mk IV with the Green Case, so I have nothing to compare the
Black Case with, but it seems quite robust, so maybe why this one hasn't cracked.

It is 3mm thick along the side, 4.2mm around the Rim.

It still has a number of EMI labels attached, so I guess they were probably the First
owners.
