The Design

There is a small Quality Control sticker on the back, and I think the date reads 1976 but I can't be sure. In 1976, digital voltmeters were not as common yet as they are now; most hobbyists and even professionals, used analogue meters. The unit has a 1988 registration of the University where I found it. It might be bought in that year, but it is also possible that it was decided in that year to register and sticker all measurement equipment.

This Object

The meter was dumped in 2010 when the department moved to a smaller building. It functions OK, but the dump in the garbage container damaged the carrying handle, also stand. You see on this picture on the right that such a thing has existed, but my unit only has the two big holes in the side to fit it. Now you can look inside what happens there.
