Hi,

I have also been looking at this and like you mine has the spinning
disc inside the meter.

There is a black band on the disc about 15mm long that is visible as
eletric is used and disc spins, had thought of trying to bounce infra
red light of it, but not took it any further any ideas anyone?


Regards

Gary
