Unhelpful in what way ? Do you expect a large company to be interested in
making a loss on a one-off repair ?

Of course not. I just wanted to do business with them in the normal way.
They didn't seem interested. Not my usual experience of a small UK company.

When you say 'repair' what bits are you looking for ?

The meter movement was open circuit. I contacted them to find out if they
could either repair or supply a replacement. The chap I spoke to was very
off hand - talking about obsolete gear - and never got back to me. I
eventually got a similar movement off Ebay and swopped the scale.

To give the full story I'd bought a good but very tatty RTS2 only from a
place I used to work at. And bought several more off Ebay if I could get
them at a decent price - working or not. And eventually ended up with a
mint set including the monitor unit. . Sold all the others after repair
etc at a reasonable profit.
