Analog Multimeter Measuring AC Current ?

[hgg]

I am trying to find an analog multimeter that can measure AC current but I cannot find one.
There are however analog panel displays for AC current sold in ebay like the following:

Do you know in what way there are different from the DC current displays?
Will I be able to use an analog multimeter to measure AC current?

I have already bought one AC current panel display but if I can find an analog multimeter
that can measure AC current it would be great because I will use the housing for my
project and the panel would be perfect for measuring signal strength which in my case
is AC current.

Thank you.

AVO 8 MkV and mkVI have Ac current ranges from 10mA to 10A

So it does exist!  Its very rare though.

Do you know if I will be able to use the panel from a DCA analogue multimeter to measure AC current?

The ICE supertester series (680R, 680G) also has AC measurements (I grew up using a 680R from my dad). One thing I liked was their huge display (check this thread)
They can be obtained for cheap on ebay, especially since you are located in Europe.

That's a really nice multimeter!

The Unigor 6e measures AC current down to 1uA full scale.

It's a FET meter, with high impedance and is one hell of a meter.

The unigor is a nice meter, it not FET but transistor.
It works with a choppers and an AC aplifier.
It can measure 1 uA to 3 A ac currrent.

You can also look for an Philips PM2504.
It can measure 1 mA to 32 A AC.
