My scrap yard friend had/has a meter with two probes that when
applied
to an unknown metal will, from the needle defection, tell what the
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.

I would also assume it measures thermoelectric voltage. I have a meter
at work that connects directly to a T type thermocouple. If it has the
meter movement sensitivity printed anywhere I'll let you know. Your
meter face may also have it but sometimes you can't see it unless you
look pretty hard...
