Re: Avo 7 variations
The change in Z screw from metal to bakelite was generally around 1942, the peg on the rear of the metal screw was glass- presumably to avoid electrical continuity from the screwdriver to the movement. These screws were interchangeable so it is not possible to know whether an early meter started out with the Z screw that it now has.
From what i have seen some early Model 7's were made in a shadow factory, and the parts availability at that site may have changed from month to month. Dave |

Re: Avo 7 variations
Thanks, and what about the model of the 70’s? Does exist Avo 7mk2 with bakelite case and with or without Pf conectors in that era?
