VCM MK3 AVO Valve Tester /  Valve Characteristic Meter In Working Condition

This is a very nice VCM MK3 AVO Valve Tester /  Valve Characteristic Meter In Working Condition, electrical tested but uncalibrated, made by AVO, London, UK.

If you regularly need to test valves/vacuum tubes to a pretty high standard, then this quality testing instrument is a must-have. They are quite rare to find in such good working condition.

The AVO VCM MK3 is one of the few valve/tube testers able to measure both anode current (Ia: in mA) and mutual conductance (Gm in mA/V). 

In very good used condition with a few blemishes, scratches and scuffs on the external surfaces commensurate with age and use. Some of the images show reflections from the table on the sides of the tester and are not defects. All controls operate smoothly.

We have removed the back panel and, as you can see from the photos, the insides are clean with no modifications.

Manuals for the VCM MKIII can be readily found to download on the internet. However, the valve tester will come with an electronic copy of operating instructions and valve settings manual on CD ROM.

See this one working in the YouTube video below.
