Title: Western Electric Ammeter
Post by: xylenol15 on May 07, 2012, 11:43:24 PM
I confess my ignorance of the market for WE items outside of telephony, but I have heard that some of their electrical equipment fetches a pretty penny. But this? Is anyone familiar with the market for this?

Well,  that's a cool meter.  It would look nice sitting on the shelf.  I cannot see why they think it is worth so much.  I would pay $45 or about 1/1000th their price.   Oh well,  guess they are looking for a fool.

It looks like their audio equipment has some big fans, as you can see here,
