My girly just brought this thing home from the thriffy today! I've seen lots of meters before, but not one like this! Looks interesting! I'm sure it would need a calibration too? The battery I used to test it was a 9volt batt but the two wires would have to be electrical taped to stay on lol I can't find a manual for it either. Any ideas on if this could be used for my purposes? Or should I just stick with the Ph tape? This is a good example of weird stuff we seem to find!! This reminds me of the old TV game show where the contestants had to guess what something was used for lol

I don't really know **** but it looks more like a TDS/EC meter then a ph meter to me. I say calibrate it and see what you get. Or better yet try a google search on the case markings.

All I could find was what I posted. The article needs to be simplified for me to understand all the formulas on how to convert the reading to give a close idea of Ph. I'm guessing you could only use it with water. LOL I am trolling for a nerd here to explain this thing

Well heres the bst i could do, its the manufactures page of user manuals. Gotta be in there somewhere, probably at the bottom under "Obsolete" Let us know what you find.

High sabasi..

I just googled' cambridge scientific industries' and was steered to:
Electro Scientific Industries

Number one hit.. call'em, maybe 'cambridge scientific industries' became "Electro" ???

Yes, it looks old.

Holy big words Batman! Ok, I am having a core meltdown with all this info! Being a Pisces, I thought I would have an edge somehow with water, that theory has been destroyed!

OK, I give up on this thing then LOL Strips works fine for me!
