The meter is an old (circa 30 years) fluke meter. Good quality but old. There is earth at the junction box - should I run some more reading with that?

A 30-year old digital meter will probably be 20M or more, while an
older, analogue meter might be 10K.

Had tis on a complex circuit: seemed to be from an octal relay, but only
about 230V on a DMM.
AVO 8 showed about 200-odd, dropped the range and the figure went down, got
to lowest range and bit above FA there.
Slightly bent fixed contact, little tweak and it was OK.
