[ARC5] ARA CBY-46104 and a Question

My 46104 I bought at a hamfest for $1.50 circa 1982.  It was unhacked but missing a tube and the top cover.  It looked pretty sad and I had planned to dismantle it to build a VFO.

But first I bought the missing tube and fired it up.  It worked fine.  I did not have the heart to take it apart as a result.  And then it quit.  Found a cold solder joint on one of the RF coils pins and after that was reheated it worked fine again.  I was impressed that I could get the LAX parking info station loud and clear from 8 miles away using no more than short hunk of wire on the floor.

Now a question:  At a hamfest this morning I bought a meter, just a meter no equipment, "USN Type CAY-22026A Type NT-33 25 CY to 20 MC Cal at 60 CY"    Anyone know what this meter fits?

Thanks
Wayne
