[Boatanchors] AR-88 Meter Mounting

[Richard Knoppow]

    If anyone has an AR-88 or variation of this receiver 
with a _factory_ installed meter please look at how its 
mounted.  There are some conflicts in what I can find on 
various web sites. The meter appears to be mounted on a 
bracket such that the front of the meter is near the window 
for it in the front panel. One meter bracket I've seen has 
stand-off feet, which make sense since something has to 
space the meter away from the window by its thickness.  Are 
there two different brackets used perhaps.  The meter parts 
list has a gasket, how is this used.  There is a set of 
instructions on several web sites that appears to be a 
partial copy of the official RCA instructions but the 
drawing accompanying it does not quite make sense.
