Yes
I can’t even remember how I gained this but I’ve been using it to meter flash for a little while and it works great! Does any one know anything about them? Any history? IMG_5166.JPGIMG_5167.JPG
 
Wow I have never seen that..when I was interested in a flash meter donkey's years ago bought the Massodax and it looks easier to use:-

It’s very simple, point the arrow at your iso and then trigger flash. Where the arrow points you cross reference the chart.

I might ring the number one day!

Probably only worth doing if you are interested in double glazing or felt-based artworks!:

The area code dates it to before they added a '1' in 1995, and the meter looks older than that. There's a newly built house at the maker's address today.

From the finish of the dial labels, I'd guess a small operation, perhaps just an inventive bloke with a workshop. Great that it's still doing the job!

Well that’s a dead end then hah!
Thanks for the info, I won’t bother with that then. I’d love an older forum member to have first hand experience with this guy.
I also want to compare it to a new one to check how accurate it is.
