Is there any way to remove that little "W" screw-cover, without destroying it? Also, beneath this little "W" screw-cover, THAT'S where I'll find the scale and the movement, guaranteed? I need to know, because I'd like to repair my Weston model 280 DC voltmeter, the needle is stuck and the front zero-adjust screw doesn't work either. Please confirm for me. Thank you kindly
I have several Weston meters and only opened two for a repair (successful), so interesting to see the guts of a few other types. They do make my heart pitter patter. Cheers, Mark *******************************
How do you open these things? I have a Weston 280 model volts DC, and all I can see is two tiny bolt/nuts on the back cover [which I can't get to, with any of my tools] and then just below that, a little W made of some "soft/aged/plastic and or wax?" Which seems quite fragile - so, how does one go about opening one of these? Please let me know, as I have to fix a non-moving needle. Thank you kindly
COOL VIDEO, tahnx very much for sharing! My "TAYLOR" 100A hat an open coil as well, i found a REPLACEMENT.... Lucky me, i did *NOT* sold or trashed it! Now i have a great working and nice looking BiIiG meter, which i use nearly daily with zest/joy/enjoyment -- whatever, it´s simply GREAT, so i hope you can make one of yours working AGAIN!!
Looks like tat wattmeter was stored in a damp basement or other such area. I looked as if there was some slight corrosion on the mounting posts of the meter as well.
A suggestion for future videos: Hold Still, your camera cannot focus while it is in motion and it is difficult to see when everything is in motion and out of focus.

Señor buenas noches.Quisiera saber si está disponible el manual para tener una referencia de como se comporta el galvanómetro .Desde ya saludos.
Hi,what is the right way to measure with this kind of meter,on the vertical or horizontal positions? I have a PA-5 unit in good condictions.

Those bakelite cases are PERFECT for Nixie clocks!
***** I have considered that. I've got quite a few nixie/numitron/VFD clock projects in mind.
