Greetings everyone,
I just purchased an AVO MK IV yes off eBay. The meter has no continuity across the meter electrodes/is open circuit. The meter is also stock just past the zero mark--in spite of its described free movement which lead me to think the meter is OK and I can go through the electronics.
I have searched the forum and I am aware of retrofitting a Simpson 29T but I was wondering if anyone could refer me to an outfit or person in the US who may be able to rebuild the original meter. I have already contacted Herts Meter Co and was told by a gentleman that since the meter has no continuity across its terminals, its moving coil is probably open and that renders the meter irreparable because the coil has many turns of tiny little windings of very fine insulated wire. I was told replacement coils for the meter are no longer made or available.
Would appreciate any feedback.
Regards
Seraph
