Reccomendation for small analogue multimeter
 

Doesn't have to be fantastically acurate, but something that's built to
last would be good.
One of the little Ancient AVOs (Multiminor ?) would be lovely, but a
quick search on Ebay shows that they are made of unobtainium :=((

So, what's the modern equivalent?

Incidently, if anyone would like an old AVO 7 (might be AVO 8, it's a
long time since I looked at it). Drop me a mail and we can haggle.




Thats MR Zikki to you!

The Multiminors were good in their day but not in the same class as an AVO
8. I don't think the Minors have been made for some years and a cheap
Japanese (or other far eastern) meter is probably a better buy.

I have the US equiv, a 27 year old Simpson (not as good some say but with a
built in roller blind case). It is like new, complete with instructions).
The sheds sell meters for £5-10 for occasionally use they are fine. If it
breaks down buy another, otherwise you pay silly money for a Fluke; mine
packed up, while the Simpson is still going. I paid £6 at Aldi for a
digital meter with a 3 year guarantee. Excellent quality.

Having had a look at Rapid Electronics following up one of Mr Plowmans
posts, I saw one of these that might float your boat

Here we go again. What on earth would you want a Fluke for given your
total lack of knowledge about electricity? You're making things up again.
A three quid DVM from a market stall would try your knowledge. Get a
Steinel Volt stick for 4 quid - that's all you'll need for your favourite
system boilers. Nice flashing lights so no need to try and understand
figures.

They're awfully big to cart around, though. But a classic design.

He must have seen a picture of one.
