The problem is that the seals inside the meters begin to leak in air after many, many years, My two were purchased by me in the 1960's and needed repair about ten years ago. I use them quite a bit in my 11x14 work and 4x5 work. I think that they'll last a long time after I terminate. You might want to try them as they do good work. I can't find a web site.

I have a digital Sekonic which works fine but the other two are merely decorative. I did read about the possibility of using a solar cell taken from a calculator, but it could be just old wives' tales. If there are any old wives out there, let me know as I do like tilting at windmills.... Douglas
