Highly unlikely. I still have Dad's "Universal Avometer Model 7", so if
the valve tester was from the same stable I would have linked the two.
Unfortunately I can't find any record of my offer to Bletchley, to a

I think you'll find AVO took over Taylor in the late 1950s so it's all
just about dates of manufacture.


Oh, thanks, I might look that up. But the valve tester would certainly
be older than that. It did have a lacquered wooden case, after all!
