My scrap yard friend had/has a meter with two probes that when applied

metal might be.
I assume it measures the thermoelectric effect The meter is seriously
damaged and is
probably not repairable

Their meter is now broken and they asked me to repair or find another.
The broken one was manufactured by Chemet Products of San Francisco.
That company seems to no longer exist.

So, does anyone know of a similar meter. I don't even know how to search
on Google for such a device. Mainly I don't know what to call it.

Hey, isn't this the kind of function you were talking about, the text
says, "Sorts alloy scrap, verifies parts in receiving, inspection for
proper alloys."

This link seems to be busted. I pasted the full link below, but it will
need some splicing:

Interesting looking gadget, but not cheap.

Thanks, that was the type of information I was looking for. I don't
think my friend
will be happy with that price however.

The existing meter is just a sensitive meter with some test leads. I
can't test the meter
sensitivity because of the broken pivot (taut-band) The meter is 7
inches wide
so finding another movement will be difficult, I think.

Thanks for the help
