The meter has a moving coil movement, a direct vision viewfinder, high and low settings and a battery check. It takes an LR1 battery. The original mercury battery would have been 1.35v, these are no longer made, the modern alkaline LR1 is 1.5v so if the meter is to be used some compensation will probably be required. A new battery has b...een fitted for the purpose of testing prior to sale. The meter is in good cosmetic condition with a few minor scratches on the top plate. It is responding to light but has not been tested for accuracy.
This item is part of a large collection of exposure meters built up over about 50 years and now for sale (see my other items). Please read the descriptions and look at the photographs. Most are in working order, and their cosmetic and functional condition has been described as well as possible, but they have not been tested for accuracy. Cds and selenium cells often lose sensitivity with age, therefore these exposure meters are sold as collectors items, if found to be usable this is a bonus.
