Take a look here.  http://www.megatron.co.uk/euromaster2/index.html

My father had an old Weston Master when I was growing up, used it to set
exposure for his Leica IIIc (on topic.)  It was the first light meter I
ever learned to use, and I still prefer the dial type meters.  I've
hankered for a Weston for many a year, and am attracted to the
Euromaster, but not strongly enough yet to lay out the cash.  It's
pretty hard to beat a Sekonic Studio Deluxe (if you want batteryless
metering) which is also smaller than the Weston as I remember it.  And
if the light gets really low, the battery powered jobs will work more
reliably at lower levels.  Still, there's something about a Weston . . .
