Not the worst motor unit in the world, but - no tonearm, cheesy plinth, platter scraping and sold as 'needing a refurb' (good luck getting any parts) ... worth about £75 maybe?

Very nice, good sounding tuner.

Mine was in storage for a few years, not working now, not the battery, something else is wrong.

What the AVO? It's a British made analogue multimeter: big, back and Bakelite! :) (The name AVO came from Amps Volts and Ohms, since the meter could measure current, voltage and resistance.)
