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.

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?
