Just looking back at an old record of department purchases since 1957.
Tracked done one of our remaining AVO's 8 mk III and ,atching serial
number it seems we bought 6 of them for £128 in Aug 1966. So about £22
each.
Just found it interesting wonder how you would factor in inflation and
what they would be in todays money.
They were about £1000 from RS when they last sold them, as I recall. That
would be about 2008.
I bought a mint condition Mark 6 for about £90 a while ago.
I got a NATO one about ten years ago in a leather case for about £40
from Pearsons up ra barras,,,,they had a job lot ....hated that stupid
non standard battery in it so I sold it......
