The last digital AVO I remember after some research is the AVO DA116. I had one of these AVO meters back in 1989/90 and it was insane compared to handheld DMMs like a Fluke. However I have since learned it was actually of 1977 vintage and used the same hand wound and calibrated resistors of the AVO 8 which does excuse its similar massive bulk. Elektrotanya has the manual with schematics I zapped mine on an old Philips G8 HT supply that went to the diode "tripler" to produce EHT. An AVO 8 could cope with the HT no problem. That sprung cutout could deal with anything :-DD |

Speaking of Agilent, here's an interesting re-brand for you. It's a Fluke 19 with "Agilent 977A" on the front. |

But nothing really changed (for Fluke or Tek), because they span off all tech related parts.. ^^ Fortive has ~80% institutional owners, it's just another big mixed tech company. Doesn't really matter if the owner is called Danaher or Fortive or "Fantasy Name Inc". |
