So I got lucky last Summer in finding an SEI photometer at a flea market for fifteen bucks, with case and I.B., in basically mint (looking) condition, but from which I get no response. I tried cleaning all visible contacts but still no response. Not sure about the light bulb...but the filament looks intact.
I know that Huw Finney fixed these until recently...even modified them with an updated LED and scales - but I cannot seem to find any recent info. on his SEI related activities.
I'd love to get this meter working. While my Pentax digital spot continues to be my main meter...I like that the SEI allows for more accuracy in specific situations - like individual, sun-washed tree branches against a dark background...especially with trees inaccessible to get a close reading and there's no convenient substitute around to meter.
I'm pretty good at DIY - but would not mind trusting someone else to this.
At any rate...any info would be great. More generally, if anybody who owns and uses one of these meters could chime in - this would be especially great! Thanks!
