The only trouble I've ever experienced with an AVO 8, assuming no mechanical damage, is reading low on AC. Where I first worked, all of our AVOs developed this problem one by one and were sent back to AVO for repair/recalibration.
I've got one of those Screwfix meters because, when we weere in the process of moving, my trusty 20+ year old true RMS Wavetek DMM was still in the old house and I needed one here.
Mark Hennessy has done an intensive review of £10 DMMs in this thread, which is worth looking at.
There is no reason that your old DMM shouldn't be up to the job but, if you do want to get up to date, you might be interested in this one.
You won't get it instantly like the Screwfix model but, when I bought one recently, it didn't take long to arrive.
Here it is, if you are interested.
I must admit that I was lucky as it was on special offer at the beginning of January and I got mine for just over £10 including delivery!
