Default Re: AVO Multimeter survey

I found the elusive Long Reach Probe recently, which fitted in the
Battery Cover recess found on most of the early Model 7, 40 and 8's.
I thought it might be of interest to some, since these seem to be very Rare.

I assume these must have been produced in their Tens of Thousands over the years,
but very few seem to have survived.
Not sure if these were optional extras or included with the Test Lead Set if it had the necessary Battery Cover.

Having only seen the occasional Photo, I didn't know much about this Probe and was
surprised to find that the Probe is actually Rubber Covered and not solid Bakelite as I thought.
It is basically an early version of the later Conical Test Lead Probe.
I actually prefer the design of this early Probe to the later ones.
