Nice write up. I have a CEL SLM, not sure which one,can't get to it at present,maybe a 275 ,but it's one of the older models with an annoying battery box lid that falls off all the time. Mine runs on two PP3's, not AA's. Mine has an analogue meter reading in 10dB steps switched by a wheel on the side.

I picked mine up for a fiver off a fellow forum member and whilst I don't use it often it is a handy bit of test gear, especially useful is an AUX out enabling use with REW etc. I highly recommend getting one if the chance comes up.

Andy.
