[Boatanchors] Globe KIng Panel Meters

Sat Apr 30 15:09:22 EDT 2016

Gary,

I suspect those meters were chosen purposely.  Back when the legal input 
power was 1000 watts, it was dependent on the Amateur's ability to 
accurately measure the parameters of one's transmitter.  If you did not have 
the means then you were restricted to 900 watts max.  One of the things 
specified was that any meter used in a max power installation have a very 
short time constant.  At the moment I forget the time constant but, most 
probably, the meters in the GK met those standards.
250 milliseconds sticks in my memory.

My good friend in Bulverde is restoring a Globe King 500C.  The un-damped 
meters are annoying, especially the Modulation one.  He is looking for 
replacement meters as listed below or does anyone know of a way to add 
damping to the meters to eliminate the bouncing?

You can reply to me and I will forward to Ron or reply to him in the Cc:
address line.  His contact info is also below.

Thanks in advance.

Keep your eyes open for Triplett Model 327 millampere panel meters.  I need 
to find two.  One with a 0-100ma scale and one with a 0-500ma scale.  They 
are black bakelite faced, 3".  Part numbers are 152-1691 (0-100ma) and
152-1697 (0-500ma).

I will enter an ebay search but if you hear of anyone on any of the 
reflectors who is getting rid of meters let me know.
