As you have yourself noted, Ian, no titanium was harmed in that experiment,
just brass. I am sure John H. could replace the prism and optics, and get
the meter back in order. But I am doubtful that even he could find another
top plate, judging from my own search a couple of years ago. Robert Kan (of
this list) in Oz had one with a scratch, if I remember correctly, but that
was the only one I found until... But it took a very long time.
Fortunately, in my case, there was ni internal damage - but brass is very
soft!

Ebay item 120282474807. Made me shudder looking at the pictures. I wonder
if John H could get it working again.
