I have an admission to make:
At the home of my late dad was a
Kaise SK-550 analog meter for reasons unknown to me, he was a electrician but of the modern kind.
But recently I could not let that meter just sit there, I had to take it to my home, it looked quite nice on the facia:

They have even managed to corrode the fuse's wire inside the glass!
Now the exposed parts are recovering in a bath of fizzling vinegar.
