Asahi Pentax Pentax Spotmeter 1º/21° (II)
New batteries installed. It meters automatically in low light (2nd photo); pull the "trigger" to meter in bright light. 3rd photo shows the condition of the 9V battery. The 640 battery should last for a long time, but it's important to keep the cap on or store it inside the leather case when not in use to avoid a constant drain on the battery.
CdS sensors of this age may not meter accurately. Check the Spotmeter against a modern digital light meter to see if it's metering accurately.
Asking $75 + S/H, or best offer.
