Vintage Westinghouse DC Kilovoltmeter 0-16kV Panel Meter Gauge Ionizer Part
Up for sale is a classic vintage Westinghouse direct current (D.C.) kilovoltmeter panel gauge. This specific model was designed for measuring high voltages in industrial equipment, possibly electrostatic precipitators (like the Westinghouse "Precipitron" system) or high-voltage power supplies for vacuum tube equipment/radio transmitters [1.1]. It is a unique and robust collectible item for enthusiasts of vintage electronics and industrial machinery.
Condition
- Cosmetic: The gauge is in good physical condition consistent with its age. The metal housing shows typical signs of patina, light surface wear. The dial face is clear and intact. The needle moves freely when the meter is tilted.
- Functionality: The meter is being sold as-is because it has not been electrically tested for accuracy. Note: These high-voltage meters require an external multiplier resistor to operate and are suitable for display purposes or restoration by a qualified hobbyist .
