This is a long tube drift meter.
It is in pretty good shape - you can see that the
rubber eye pad is dried out in the second picture.
If you are interested, PM me.

Is there anywhere to get new eye cushions for these? I have one that I rescued out of our HU-16 before it was sold and it is in mint condition except for the eye cushion.
