Yep, back when you could still buy them form RS they were about £700 IIRC. :o

I'm not sure RS was around when I was at school  ??? ;D

They were called RadioSpares back then, Andy - and they were a lot  cheaper! :)

Fix the AVO :y

It is not a real one, just a small square black box that looks like a mini Avo. It has been good in its time, but does not work on all scales and will no longer zero.  :(

You can get a basic Fluke model 113 for £117 from Farnell. Cheap unbranded off the bay of thieves & more expensive fake branded ones which are fine if being used for indicating low voltages, currents & resistance where IME high voltage safety (anything above 100v), high quality components & calibration are considered an unnecessary extra expense is the Chinese knock off factory, so aren't included. :(

If you want a proper safe calibrated test instrument then you need to buy it from an official distributor like Farnell.

I've always found the Tenma stuff epically good value for money. They work and maintain their accuracy really well.

Something like this: https://cpc.farnell.com/tenma/72-10390a/dmm-handheld-manual-3-5digit/dp/IN07410

No affiliation with the site - to be honest, I just googled a UK reseller of the EEVBlog stuff ;D

Tenma is best of the budget generally, CPC have this one:

https://cpc.farnell.com/tenma/72-7780/digital-multimeter-handheld-3/dp/IN07413

No auto ranging but has auto power off and reasonable ranges and accuracy

or for a tenner more:

Thanks Mark. That one looks to be about the cheapest one they do with auto-shutoff. :y
