Big old Electricity Meter

[Topekole]

Hello everyone,
I find this Big old Electricity Analogue Meter, since it is an old stuff thinking it should have some precious metals inside, did anyone have any idea or how to know if any precious metals inside.
Thanks

My opinion only.
I cannot see any reason to use precious metals at all, except maybe some silver solder or possible plating of a few parts, nothing basically worth trying to recover any precious metals from.
Any value would be in the meter itself as is.

I completely concur with Butcher's comments. Gold and PMs are mostly (but not always) present in larger quantities in equipment that is not of consumer grade.

It's a watt hour meter made in the U.K. No precious metals but may have collector value, search for it on ebay, use the TYPE C61B2-D for search criteria. Here are a couple links to sites for U.S. made watt hour meters.

I've torn apart thousands of watt hour meters.
