Details are given in the AVO handbook and it could be adapted for a switched voltage range.
Discharge capabilities could easily be incorporated.
This could form a nice project and most folk will have a suitable transformer.

There is also the somewhat rare "Model 8 Univeral Avometer Resistance Range Extension Unit".
I have one.
But here is a picture of the one in the Science Museum

There is a thread here too
