What was your first multimeter or voltmeter?

Bummer,  :( I was looking for my first analog multimeter. It's stored here somewhere...  A basic analog meter.

 My next meter is an NRI  VTVM. I still occasionally use this meter. VTVM's  have some advantages. A really high impedance.

 Next was my first DMM.

 A BK 380 Multimeter. I inserted four C batteries. Last power up for this meter was about ten years ago. It's still working!

Avo 8 mk5 I think it was first multimeter.
oldway:
It was not my first multimeter but the oldest I remember: Hioki AF-105

I then bought an electronic voltmeter that was so complicated that I never used all its possibilities: Hansen UV47

While saving my pocket money for a long time, I was able to buy a multimeter of quality which was very useful to me: avometer model 8.
I still have one now.

My first digital multimeter purchased used in 1993 was a Fluke 73.
I modified it to have the choice of the range (like 75) because the automatic range was annoying with variable voltages.
I still use it today.

An old analogue  Sanwa 460-ED, 100,000 Ohm/V,  I still have it and it works.
SeanB:
Hioki 3001, and still have it. Abused a bit over the years, and had a few "incidents" with it as well, but it has survived and still is reasonably accurate on DC volts, so so on AC volts ( what do you expect, very non linear scale and not good below 5VAC really), and the resistance ranges have had a few little repairs over the years, due to leaking batteries and such.  I keep a pack of 0.5A glass fuses in the one battery compartment inside, just in case I need them.
