What is this Lister gen set type?

[Tatu K.]

Hello from Finland!

Here is my uncle's battery charger and one A-meter which is missing my Lister.





He promised Lister meter for me, if I can find another to replace this meter.

Unfortunately the meter has been little modified. Casing has been shortened and the front end is missing. Meter winding has been modified too.

I try restored A-meter look like original.  I'm going to cast a new front end, using a second A-meter's front end  as a model.

Nice one Tatu 

I can't even imagine 25 below, we have only had one or two frosts here on the west coast of Scotland. You certainly couldn't leave a control panel outside here or have a shed with no end on it. The wind rain and salt air would destroy them.

Cheers, Paul
