Default Re: Nashton universal DC meter

Thanks for that, Ted.

Of course what I didn't think of was that as the two valves are likely to be original fitments, there will be a date and factory code etched onto the glass.

Although I've had a bit of a look at various code lists, I'm no expert on this and I was expecting a slightly longer code rather than the three digit code that's on each valve. I have to say that it's not something I've ever particularly looked into with valves before, but the code seems to be 'B8E' on both valves - the pictures below don't show the codes very well, but I'm sure there will be some valve code experts that will be able to give me chapter and verse on the valves and their codes, thus dating both them and the meter.

Many thanks in advance for any information.
