Vintage Condition
Please remember that all of our items are vintage, antique or collectible pieces. They have lived a previous life and may show signs of age, use, storage or wear.
These characteristics are part of their authenticity and unique charm. Vintage items are not new products and natural signs of age are often part of what makes each piece special.
Some items have been tested and are described accordingly. Others are sold as untested when testing is not possible or appropriate. The condition of every item is clearly described in the product listing.
All vintage light meters, lux meters, and testing equipment in our shop are individually inspected and tested for functionality. We ensure that the mechanical components move smoothly and the devices respond to input.
However, please keep in mind that these are historic, vintage items. Due to their age, the exact measuring precision and accuracy may deviate from the original factory specifications.
Our items are sold primarily as collectible pieces of history and functional vintage tools. They should not be relied upon for critical, high-precision modern measurements or calibrations
