[Elecraft] Analog meter

I think the analog meter par excellence is the Avometer.  Avo was a 
British company that made avometers and tube testers.  I think that the 
company has been taken over by Megger.  Anyway, the Avometer has a 
sensitivity of 20,000 ohms per volt, a physically large scale with a 
mirror backing to avoid parallax errors.  Expensive new, but I got mine 
from that watery place for about $100 plus the petrol for a 60 mile 
round trip to pick it up.

Incidentally, I would not be without my DMM and my AADE LC II meter (for 
measuring capacitance and inductance.)
