Applications
DC milliampere meters were standard instruments in telecommunications, electrical testing, and industrial control systems for circuit analysis and equipment diagnostics. The Weston 260 was used in telecom switchboards, test benches, and manufacturing environments to monitor and measure DC current flow. These passive instruments remain functional tools for circuits where a basic, unpowered current measurement capability is required.
This Weston Model 260 DC Milliamperes passive analog panel meter is in used condition consistent with its age. The black enamel housing shows surface wear, light oxidation, and minor scuffing across the front and back panels. The four binding post terminals show age-related patina and some corrosion on the brass hardware. The dial face has some discoloration and staining, most visible toward the right side of the scale, though the printed scale graduations remain legible. The meter movement appears intact. This instrument has not been bench-tested at our facility and is sold as found. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
