The first edition manual says September 1965. It's stamped GPO so I think it was just prior to the plastic revolution and built to be hammered and last.That green one is very nice. Is it a military spec one?

Bit premature with previous post saying result. readings are widely inaccurate e.g. a 6.8k resistor measures at 4.9k. a 3.3. k reads as 2.9k. could it be that the machine is reconfigured for 6V. the galvo has 2 x PP3s to operate the electronics.
The non-original part is the galvanometer. When the Galv says 0, stick a multimeter on volts across here and see if THAT says zero.connected a very short piece of flex , measured on a low ohms meter at 0.020 ohms. Bridge says 0.8. across the terminals. Time to have a poke around inside I think..
As this thread seems to be turning into an appreciation society of Wheatstone Bridge testers, I thought I'd post this here...
I was caught red handed looking at the listing and I've been expressly told I can't buy this by the boss.
But if it stays at this price - someone really should!
