No-one seemed to want them. Two sat on the Bring & Buy for hours, and the last one I bought as the show was closing.
They rather nicely complete my pre-war line-up. I had no 36-Range meters at all before.
I'll add them to the database shortly.
I just noticed that they are 1 month apart and 100 serial numbers apart. A production of 100 meters a month, roughly. Not bad!

Very lucky! I missed out on those. I probably miss out on a lot by not attending enough bring and buy events.
