Hello-
I am looking for a particular meter to mate with the one I have, which
will be used to monitor the screen current in a dual tube tetrode amplifier.
I wish to have two identical meters in order to monitor the screen current
of each tube. What I like about the Dumont meter that I have is that it will
read negative screen current. The "zero" point is upscale a bit and it will
read to -20 mA.
The Dumont meter is:
Size: 3" square, mounts in 2-3/4" round hole
Case: Standard black bakelite
Scales: Has 3 scales- 20-0-100
0-250
0-500
Marking: Has "DU MONT" and nothing else on
faceplate.
I am not sure of the movement itself, it is not marked on meter
faceplate. I have not checked resistance of meter yet.
As I may not have any luck finding a mate for my meter if anyone has a
pair of nice meters with an offset "0" with about -20 or so and +50 mA scale
I would be interested.
Anyway, thank you for the time, Byron WA5THJ.
