[QUOTE="Lodekka, post: 7449181, member: 31706"] Hi again, Ok, so the grey meter is a TF933A and i think that would be straightforward to restore to working order, the clamp and accessories look ok so it should clean up nicely. It all depends on battery corrosion inside but it initially looks promising. If required it can be converted to mains operation fairly easily if you chose not to want batteries, just to say that modern batteries can be used in them so no real issue either way other than your preference. This meter dates from the 60’s, i can be more exact if i see it. The other meter is an older TF842 and is also probably restorable but of limited use as it would not cope so well with crops other than the main dial scale is marked for. Usually Wheat and Barley/Oats... Again the internal condition would dictate if it is worth doing. This meter is a bit earlier than the [URL='https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/x-apple-data-detectors%3A//0']933A[/URL]. If you are interested then i am happy to give a more detailed assessment without obligation but just need to get them to me. I would be fairly confident of resurrecting at least the later one. PM me if you like. Regards Nigel Sent from my iPhone [/QUOTE]
