Hi all, hope everyone out there is well during the current situation, no pun intended. 
Here's a quick picture of my interests:
Got over 100 various Avo items, my main addiction!
And a spare room filled with old power supplies, signal generators, test bridges, transistor testers, the list goes on.
But, dare I say I'm not alone in present company.
My skills at repairing said items are somewhat limited, being a carpenter for the last 45 years, but I do have a good go and get a buzz when my patient bursts into life rather than flames.
My latest attempt of rejuvenation is a Hunts CRB3 capacitor tester, it's a bit of a wreck!
Wish me luck.
Andy.

Hi Andy - Welcome!

Certainly you'll be at home here - lots of vintage kit around & like-minded souls!

I don't collect Avos but I do have an Avo mini and I think an Avo 8 - to be honest, they haven't seen the light of day for a few years!

Welcome to the forum Andy. I think I too have a Hunts capacitor tester in the loft that hasn't seen the light of day for at least 30 years. I also have an Avo RC Test bridge which I hope you also have in you Avo collection.

Oops I tell a lie. Mine isn't Hunts. It's a Solar.

Welcome Andy.  If you are another collector/ hoarder you have come to the right place.

Hi Andy and welcome. The Hunts bridge is a good tool and gives much better indications than the modern chinese ones.
It can also be used to match components if requited

Hello.

Always room for another Andy!

Evening all, and thank you for the warm welcome. I don't buy as much gear as I used to do because of the crazy prices sellers are asking now, but I do now and then give in, and save another Avo, Taylor, or Simpson from having a light fitting screwed on top of it.
That's the excuse I tell my better half, a saint she is.

I'm at the other end of collecting cra... useful stuff, I keep thinking about my family having to sort through the stuff if anything should happen to me, which of coarse it will, worth thinking about.

Anyhoo, on that downer, welcome to the forum tother Andy.
