After reading some articles about selenium meters in this forum I wonder whether there are any new ideas or useful hints about repairing or replacing them. Can those who know of new ways or methods respond, please? |

There was once a thread about these cells in Weston meters. Try a search for Weston meters.
I think we did find a company that sells replacements as well but they are expensive, perhaps more expensive than buying a working modern meter. |

I don't have a current Radio Shack catalog but a few years ago they had cheap photovoltaic cells. How much work to adapt to a specific camera or light meter I don't know. |

These guys sell selenium cells as well as new selenium light meter (expensive) I don't know whether it is possible to get a replacement cell for an older light-meter from them though. |

If you just want to see the needle move in response to light changes, try moving the cell up and down in its recesses. This will often break through the build-up of resistance at the contacts. |
