Recycling an old AVO-style meter..... unfortunately this case was found in a damp shed with its innards rusted solid and beyond repair 
.
Like this item.... only munted...

The case was in very poor cosmetic condition and required a lot of work to restore.
Normal operation is with the cover up and it looks like an item of test equipment.
Flip the cover down and there is the oled and infra-red receiver.
I would have liked to have the infra-red receiver mounted elsewhere so it could operate without the lid being open...however, these old Baekelite cases for electrical test equipment have asbestos filler to increase isolation safety.
Its fine and safely sealed provided one doesn't drill, sand, scratch, or otherwise degrade the surface.
