Care Guide
This is a vintage Weston Model 853 Direct Reading (DR) Exposure Meter, manufactured by the Weston Electrical Instrument Corp. in Newark, NJ. It features a selenium cell, which means it does not require batteries to function. The design uses a rotating blind on the back to set the film speed, which then allows the user to read the lens aperture (f-stop) directly from the front face for a standard 1/50th second shutter speed. Unsure if it works. Once loved, once used, and ready to be cherished again. We believe the best treasures are the ones with history — saved from the attic and sent on to their next story.
Daily Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For mesh areas, use diluted mild detergent and a soft brush.
Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded place after cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can cause fading and glue deterioration.
Storage: Stuff with paper to maintain shape when not in use. Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent mold. Rotate between multiple pairs to extend lifespan.
Usage Notes: Designed for basketball. Not recommended for hiking, long-distance running, or other specialized sports where different performance features are required.
