Started collecting them pretty recently - Weston, Eico, Precision Apparatus,
etc. Even a Japanese JRC vom from about 1950.

Wondering what cool old meters you guys have at work or at home?

Care to share thoughts / reminiscences?

Not an AVO Model 8? Still made up until recently - cost about 650 gbp.

I am still using an AVO 7 in leather carrying case and an AVO 25
multimeter.

Have you ever tried repairing one ?
Or even ,for the experience, removing the movement and replacing it without
spring/seating/ bias problem ?
Once you master that then coil winding must be a sinch

Here's an oddity, 5 inches across in a 10x10x10 inch case
http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/analogue_meter.jpg
Don't know what make, says Model 32 , surprisingly in a wooden not bakelite
case and porcelain terminal insulators, as it says "Tropical" on the legend.
I used to use it along with a couple of circa Gohm glass encapsulated
resistors for measuring EHT, now use a purpose made EHT 100:1 divider
