I got this Air Scale air meter last week & was wandering if anyone reproduced the face & dial for it? It is made of cast iron & should be a easy restore smile Thanks smile

I would wipe it down very carefully. That face looks like it could be reused and will give the meter a nice original look. I believe Ron Scobie makes a new face for your meter. Are you sure your meter is cast iron? I think the may have made them in aluminum too if yours is cast. Nice project and good luck.

On the right side I wiped it wit a damp cloth & everything came right off. Plus it supposed to be white from what I can tell. Yes it is cast it weighs about 50 lbs plus I know the difference LoL smile

Ok back to the top. I have tried to get ahold of Scobie with no luck so does anyone else make a face & dial needle for my meter?

Mine is made of aluminum, so they must have them both ways.
