AVO M2007, 4 figure digital ammeter on 300uA FS range, quoted accuracy
is +/-10f reading and +/-1 digit - its not mine, borrowed from work
and regularly calibrated.  Based on this, accuracy should be
10uA+/-0.2uA.  The actual reading jumped around more than this, but
averaged around 10uA.  

I did have similar concerns to those you seem to have which is why I got
the OM-4 out to measure it with the same meter.

I think I'll try leaving the OM-4 battery in circuit and compare it with
the OM-4Ti's to see if either of them last longer than a few months.
The OM-4 was serviced a few years ago, but I didn't think they replaced
the circuit, and I expect they would have told me if they had.  I might
just be lucky I guess, but it certainly used to drain batteries like it
was going out of fashion.
