Hi, I've found this meter at a very reasonable price on line, but the seller doesn´t know the brand beacause the sticker with it has gone.
The photos are horrible, but they are all I have, here they are:
The seller said it works with batteries, so I asume it´s not sellenium-type.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance
(Please forgive my english)

It looks like a Capital, but with the "removable" nameplate, it could be most any fairly inexpensive brand. There's one that looks a lot like it on Ebay.

Yep, http://www.chamblesscineequip.com/catalog/exposure_meters.htm also lists some Capitol, and Jame's Light Meters on a Google search indicates the Japanese company probably did sell them under several different brands.

I have one with a Soligor sticker -- by the way, they take Mercury batteries, so you're going to have to find a solution for that...

If it takes a 1.35V battery then a Wein cell MRB625 will work perfectly. I use these in cameras and meters that require the mercury batteries. Or, you can get the smaller 1.35V hearing aid batteries for much, much less and put a little O-ring around it to make the diameter right. Can't recall the name of the hearing aid batteries, but a quick google on "mercury PX625 replacement" should pull it up.
That's a decent light meter, but if it doesn't have a battery in it now then the seller would have no idea if it works. So keep that in mind. The key words you want to see in a light meter ad are "has a meter and works correctly". Saves you a lot of trouble in the long run.
