Weston model 779 multimeter


This unit is a Weston Model 779 Multimeter, Type 5, S/N 15987. This is an antique collector's item in a nice wooden case with a hinged protective cover. It measures AC / DC volts, resistance and DC current. The left side of the unit casing (bakelite material probably) is damaged and a repair was attempted. One piece of the casing in the upper left hand corner is loose and held in place with clear tape.
There are still batteries inside of the case and the unit is free of battery damage.
This unit weighs approximately 98 ounces.
As an antique instrument there is scuffing and wear on the finish of the wooden case. The hinges and clasp have the appearance of old metal, rough with some pitting and wear.
The meter appears to have some functionality. When a battery was tested, the needle did move but there is no claim / guarantee of accuracy or calibration. I think that it could be restored and would make a great conversation item.
