Quite. AVOs always struck me as overpriced ad absurdam for what they were.

But that that in context of the time they were built and used and its
not that surprising..

Their price might have made sense in the '20s, but decades later it had lost all connection with basic sense. And from my limited time using them, I was never impressed, any reasonably decent modern meter is better.

I like some old stuff, but AVOs no.
