Re: AVO Multimeter survey
Not sure where the s/number is on those versions Gary.
I agree about the leather handles, i have cut new ones for any that have started to lose integrity; they can certainly harden up badly where they meet the metal rivets.
I have a Model 47A wooden box very similar to yours, the only weakness i have found with these is the screws holding the hinges can loosen or shear off with age (brass, of course.)
I gave one particular box internal retaining straps to stop the lid opening more than about 110 degrees to avoid stressing the hinges. My Admiralty 48A box and it's meter had a strong smell of 'ship'- seemingly a blend of fuel oil and heavy duty grease. Sadly dispersed now, the genie has escaped.
