For those with limited available space who can also forgo meter
operation, we offer the Model OB-SD Antique
Electric Meter. This model is also suitable when an ultimate
foreign destination has electricity that's not convertible
to our lamp model requirements.
The Model OB-SD Antique Electric
Meter is restored to the same exacting cosmetic standards as our other
models, but is otherwise beyond electromechanical restoration. Any
responsible flaws are invisible.
Accordingly, the Model OB-SD
retains its museum-piece quality as a classic electrical instrument and
a true
surviving representative of the electric industry's early, formative
years.
