tis why I keep my old AVO 8. Nowt like an AVO 8
I gave away the DVM I had. My brain's analogue and can't cope with flickering numbers. I have two AVOs - a traditional 8 and one of those techie ones they didn't make many of (can't remember the number, and it's in the workshop where I'm not). I got one for free from work when they were throwing it out, and one for a £5. Brilliant bits of kit!
The daft blighters in the lab at work "had" to have their meters calibrated every year. They worked out that it was cheaper to buy a cheapish Chinese job every year than have the AVO calibrated.
