[Boatanchors] Globe KIng Panel Meters

[Jim Liles]

Bob,

Thanks for looking.  At last the type of meter is answered.

Do you have the VFO with the radio  --- always wanted one of those radios.

Kindest regards Jim

The meters in my Globe King 500B are D'Arsonval types, and I suspect
they all were.  I can't identify the manufacturer because of the custom
faces.  Yes the modulator meter bounces around but I consider that a
plus as it more accurately reflects voice peaks like a VU meter, and I'd
prefer the meters in my other transmitters did the same.   The other
meters are normally steady in AM mode.   In my opinion it ain't broke so
why fix it?
