I believe the parts you need are available, I would buy it for that. You can offer lower, what can it hurt.
Thanks, Phil

Picked up meter and was shocked how heavy it was. Hope to get missing face plates and bring it back to life.

I think you got a deal at $300! We have 7 air meters in our collection,, gotta have more.  You can't even get a more common ECO 97 or 98 for $300 Ric

Nice meter and at the price. Get the chrome from Scobie and don't repaint it. It is to nice of an original to restore in my opinion.
