The local high school physics teacher was told to
clean out the lab of
all the "old junk." She has a bunch of meters that she is supposed to
dump, but she wanted to know if there was any market for "antique"
meters. I have not seen them, but the way she describes them they are
single function meters (galvanometers, AC voltmeter, DC voltmeter,
etc.) in slope from cases with binding screw terminals on top. She
thought the cases were Bakelite.
Is there any value to such things? Is there an on-line market that
might let me determine a value, if any? I know she is thinking that if
it is worth anything she can use the proceeds to buy supplies.
There is a gigantic collectors' market for this type of equipment. I
have a sizable collection of it myself. Some of it goes for very high
dollars, especially Leeds Northrup and Central Scientific equipment.
