Likewise. In a similar vein, I like looking at, maintaining and testing the older 'spinning disc' IDMT relays that we still use on power boards at several of our sites: AEI and GEC. They're beautifully made and still accurate, although the likes of the Alstom MiCOM instruments are more versatile and consistent - if more complicated to set up.

Ours and next door's are Landis and Gyr ones, same as these.
