New member, came across this thread. I have 5 rhodes meters, and 1 being same as this dual head. I get my lens made at Zanesville Modern Glass here in town Zanesville ohio 43701

If you're still needing or collecting meters, let me know. That being said...want to ask if you have a key to open your to get access to clock timer? I need a duplicate made, I'd cover cost and shipping. I learned after just buying this dual head that MH Rhodes used a different company and lock for the dual heads only...lol...my wish

I was just thinking of Mike (bruzer) recently.

Here is a cool decommissioned meter from Reading PA.

I have a total of 5 Rhodes Parking Meters. 1 duel meter.....I've had all mine made locally at business in Zanesville Ohio 43701.

I have keys to top & bottom on all EXCEPT the duel....they used a different key company and mine won't open the duels?

Anyone have a key they can duplicate I'll buy it and cover shipping costs.

Also they know me at Modern Glass where all my lens are made, usually $13 to $16 for a set. I've had duncan miller's, rockwell, park o meter, and Rhodes made.

I can provide you their contact information of interested.
