[Boatanchors] Weston test set

[Pete Lancashire]

Larry,

Try using an adjustable power supply. Start off at the same a a pair
of cells and adjust up to see if the meter heads toward
zero. The last oldie I played with ended up having to build a little
up-converter.

Neat little meter and almost reminds me of a military meter from back a few years.  I can't zero the meter on ohms with a pair of C cells so i'm supecting that it used a 4 1/2 volt battery and not 3 volts for the OHMs scale.  Anybody know for sure?  The meter measures 3 3/4 inches wide X 5 1/2 inches long X 2 1/2 inches high (front to back).  I cleaned the Ohms adj pot and that sure smoothed things out but just not enuff oompf to get it to go to zero.
