This was the ubiquitous multimeter to be found in all manner of electrical and electronic workshops across most of the 20th century, and remains to this day one of the highest quality examples of its type. It’s a treasure from my youth, that most venerable of British test equipment: the AVO 8. I have quite a few multimeters and this isn’t the first time I’ve written about these indispensable instruments, but this one’s a little special. Why on earth did I hang on to three Philips N1500 VCR system video cassette recorders from the early 1970s! (Don’t worry, those have found a good home.) Say Hello To An Old Friend Of Mine Instantly recognisable, the AVO 8Īs I was packing up my bench, I happened upon a multimeter. But here in a slightly damp British autumn, box after box of a lifetime’s immersion in tech needs sorting and directing. Perhaps I could become one of those digital nomads I hear so much about and post my Hackaday stories from a sun-kissed beach while goldfish shoals nibble at my toes. I’m moving, and in the process of packing all of my belongings into storage boxes to disappear into a darkened room for the next year.
