My Sanwa analogue multimeter has died.

If you don't, your grand kids will eventually. :-)

They will never know what it represented to you for many years. I dumped a lot of stuff recently, good bad, and ugly.

I had walls of Electronics magazines, and it took many months posting one out to each customer, when they went out in a yellow or red PO bag. Don't know if they enjoyed or even read them. But I preffered to do that to dumping them.

Cheers Don...

Bare Proto PCB for PIC or AVR projects?
"I'd buy that for a Dollar!".

**Why would you? I still have mine. I poured over specs for months, before I selected my Sanwa (50k/V) model (an AVO was WAY outside any rational budget in those days). Finally, on my 16th birthday, my parents spent a very significant chunk of money and bought me the model I wanted (with the leather - not pleatherT - case). Of course, it hasn't been used in years, but I would no sooner chuck it out, than cut off my arm or throw out my Faber Castell 2/83N (the Rolls Royce of slide rules).

Have you seen the price of analogue meters? They're more expensive than digitals.

** Not a Sanwa N501D by any chance ?

Bought one back in the early 1970s.

The 2uA ( !!! ) taut band movement died and rendered the thing useless.

Not quite that upmarket. It is a CX-505.

The meter in the pic looks very much like the meter in a Peak multimeter I have had for ages

Let me know if you want a pic, as I would happily donate the Peak to a good cause (for the price of postage)

Thank you for the offer, but no thanks. My ugly, nameless DMM does anything I need, except to trigger floods of nostalgia.

Donny,

Is that why you dont invite me around anymore..

I just checked RS for an AVO model 8 Mk7 and it comes in at $2320 + gst.

Hand it down as a family heirloom - one day it will be worth a fortune.
