Colour is a bit embarrassing, especially out on site.

How much would you like for one. Id like to grab an analogue tester

I wouldn't recommend an Avo for regular site work, they're a nice piece of kit but just not very suitable for day to day use.

what would you recommend?

Most of the work we do is bms so continuity tester is all we need.

It was more for occasional site work (very, very rare) or own personal eventual if digital is picking up odd readings

 

[Marvo]

I'd recommend something smaller, lighter and less brittle.

Do people collect old analogue test equipment? If so I have a 1964 (I think) AVO8 in very good condition leather case, an AVO 10KV DC multiplier, and a more modern Megger wind up insulation resistance meter, also in very good condition leather case. I saved these from being scrapped when we were decommissioning all the analogue TV transmitting equipment, but they've been sitting in the shed for ages. If anyone wants them, a small donation to Hayling Island RNLI and they're yours.

Hi: They will probably be around the £20 mark with new batteries installed, unfortunately the leads won't be original as they're way too pricey, Insured carriage will be about £7.99. But as Marvo has pointed out they are a bulky piece of kit & nowadays more suited to workshop use.
