ISO Autek WM-1 for parts

[Eldorado828]

I bought one over a year ago and loved it so last week I bought another. Now a local here has one in decent shape but it's inoperable as it is.

I thought I'd ask if anyone here has any in their junk pile that is willing to sell. Maybe I can piece and refurbish with parts combined.

you're in Luck!

i do happen to have one that doesn't work and ive had it so long i don't remember what did or didn't work.
I believe one of the meter windows is cracked.
it is complete i believe but is not screwed together.

you are welcome to it, and just need to cover the shipping.
Unless you want to send me something from your junk box lol.

Start a conversation with me on the forum and we can work out the details.

Bump

I'm still in need of a donor so thought I'd kick the thread one more time.

A pic of what, the meter? As mentioned in the original post, I'm after OOS wm1 meter or meters to scavenge parts from.

Yes they are excellent meters. I've got one on my main station and it's in absolute immaculate physical and working condition and just bought a second but isn't functioning completely. I've been on the prowl for parts meters but they are pretty scarce.

I've kinda geeked out in them the last couple of weeks to the point that I believe I've found someone who knows the daughter of the deceased owner. The story is that she stored away what was left somewhere so hopefully I can make contact and get some info.

It would be kind of cool to resurrect the meter brand and design because I believe they would still be very relevant today.

Just daydreaming on it, who knows if and of it still even exists.

In the meantime I'll try to resurrect the second dead one I have here.
