Dave JenkinsThanks Jim,
I thought I was loozing whats left of my mind.
Did you buy one of his big name elec meters? I tried to custom order one that spun backwards but he wanted way to much money and 4 months

Magnum MikeI would be happy with one that only spins at 1/2 speed!!

The barrel making thing is only a front to cover up the illegal meter sales!! LOL!

LOL,
Now they say that if you hit it just right in an upwards fashion with the impact being at 5 o'clock and the direction of the blow going towards 11 o'clock it can possibly cause a pinching effect on the disc in the magnet gap. Never tried it, nor have I had to explain to the power company why it stopped either. Is this a myth or truth, personally I think the electricians got a kick out of spreading the rumor. Before you try it though, think about how you will answer the question, "So whose been punching the meter this time?"
FWIW,
