Hello from Ontario Canada. May I give you some details of my AVO meter. I found it in my fathers basement after he died last year so I dont care if he stole it, they can chase all over Hell after him if they want.

On the back it says Instructions for use of AM test meter Type D Ref: no.10S/10610. At the bottom it specifies cell No. 6 REF. no. 5S/2000 and gives patent numbers 200,977 and 404,015.

Cell is missing and so is the cell compartment cover. The gauge has also been removed. So its really a hunk of junk, but an interesting hunk of junk, the heaviest VOM Ive got and the only one with a bakelite case.

Can anyone tell me how old this thing is.
