Soligor Digital Spot Sensor (?)

Have a chance to buy a Soligor Digital Spot Sensor for $60 US.
The guy says it has been out of the box only once or twice. He bought
it c1985. The little bit of info I found on the web sounds like it's a
good deal.
Have any of y'all used this meter have a opinion on it?
The guy says he *thinks* he will find the manual. Wonder if there is a
manual available for download.

Thanks,

If it's accurate, buy it!

I have the analog version that I bought new about 1975. I had it
calibrated (It initially was about 2/3 stop off.) by a local camera
tech shortly after I got it, and have done nothing to it since. Still
works. Still accurate. It's outlived 3 incident meters -- a Sekonic
L28C Studio Deluxe (predessor of the 398), and two Minolta IIIF's.

 

Hi Stefan, thanks for your comments.

I am unfamiliar with meters but am interested in them and I will
likely buy the Soligor spot meter as the price is right.
I am wondering a few things about this meter...
Is it only a spot meter or can it be used as an incident /
reflective meter? Can it meter flash?
Have been trying to find info on the web about this meter but can find
nothing technical about it.
Is there an *easy* way to test if the meter is properly
calibrated? What would you suggest to test the meters accuracy?
Won't be meeting with the guy selling it for a few weeks so I would
like to learn a few things about it before then.

Thanks again,

I doubt it.

Isn't that the same meter Adorama sells under it's own name?

Easy way is to compare against a working meter. Or bring a grey card and
test using sunny 16 but that requires you understand sunny 16.
