  • Pocket battery meters

    From Terry S@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 21 20:07:40 2020
    Anyone have info or interest in these old pocket meters?

    I see very little on the web regarding them.

    This one came from a local estate sale for a few bucks. I find it very cool.

    Usually 1920s moving iron. Metal case normally connected to -ve pole - a recipe for shocks. Those old moving iron meters had terrible resistance.

    Cute, I like old test gear, and that is a fine example...I think I have
    one much like it in my own pile of battery radio gear.
