Have a GE PR-3, an old selenium meter that I got for practically $nothing on eBay a few years ago, that works pretty well. But I just had it apart because it seemed to be sticking for some reason: turned out that the 2 screws that hold the armature in

The only selenium meter I've ever seen that had an adjustment beyond the universal meter zero set was the Gossen Pilot 2.  
 
It's too bad because as some meters age the voltage drops a bit, and it would be nice to be able to calibrate them.

GE selenium meters seem to have an uncanny long life.
 
I have had some DW-68's and all are amazingly accurate. Much better in reliability than contemporary Gossen and Weston meters I have.
