Instead of the standard painted black OB electric meter here is something different to hang on your wall. Nicely restored 1931 Westinghouse OB electric meter painted in a very nice metallic ocean blue. This meter is electrically sound but I would recommend it be used for display purposes only. During its later years the right load side buss bar overheated and caused heat damage to the insulating paper separator (photo #9), the wiring insulation on the load wires from the current coil to the lug connector and the right side lower terminal lug nut which had to be drilled out and during the removal process the internal threading was partially stripped preventing the new lug from seating properly (photo #12). The meter was stripped down to bare metal, given a coat of primer, painted a fine metallic ocean blue and given four applications of clear lacquer. The meter frame face and stator mounting frame are both finished in polished metal, (please view photo # 4). The original meter wiring schematic is still attached behind the front terminal cover (see photo # 8). Meter has its flaws but is in working condition. The meter will come with three new copper lead seals and tested for proper disk rotation before shipping. An excellent piece to add to your meter collection.
