Old time test instruments.

The Ghost · Nov 10, 2016

This is what we used to use to test ELCB's and loop test with a moving coil meter.

Lol, I still have analogue testers probably older than those that I use regularly in day to day testing. I don't even own one of those new fangled MFT type testers although I'll probably cave in one day and try one.

Took me a while to sus what MFT was didn't like to ask. Still using gear which is 15 to 20 years old. It ain't broke so I don't replace it.

Best I have is an old AVO 8 in its case. I still use it every now and then but its a bit of a beast to lug around.

Two wires just what I like. Colleague of mine has a MFT and we had to call the fire brigade the other day to untangle him from the multitude of wires that come with it.

I have one of these I take to site occasionally, it's always a crowdpleaser for the health and safety guys.

I have the same one its much better than putting a dab of paint on the shaft and then shining a tacho at it.

The electrician that taught me bought me one of those. I immediately blew it by putting it on a live circuit. He wasnt best pleased! He did tell me not to do that but callow youth I was..... Never saw it again after that. That was about 1975 I think. Have you really had it that long?

My Father was an electrician as well, and I remember his Avo meter. Used to fascinate me looking at it as a kid. I know a man who has a shed load of AVO's trying to get him to give me a spare one. Just for the shelf really.

Loads on ebay so they are cheap at the moment

my avo 8 mk vii is mint, just like it left the factory. calibration is overdue though, but i've checked it against my calibrated mft.

Not as old as some of the gear on here but my 25 year old PAT still raises eyebrows.

The Ghost · Nov 15, 2016

That is really something looks like all singing and dancing PAT machine!

We have a Zivvy that's very similar to that at work.

How do you guys using old equipment get on when testing EFLI on circuits with RCD's?
