I got a Hale meter, base radio and Roofie when I bought my plate 8 years ago, I have no idea of how old any of them were, the Hale was fine fer years but the screen was starting to go dim over the years, then my meter installer guy told me a few weeks ago that it would not pass suitability, so he installed a new/second-hand Hale fer 150 notes but the rotten thing prints a receipt after every fare regardless if the ignition is on or off. Gotta get a switch fitted after re-seal and suitability.
