[Boatanchors] Johnson Navigator Meter Question

[whitebear1122 at comcast.net]

When you first mentioned this Dale I struggled visualizing it.  This is
because I've never seen the Drake meter other than the little bit I can see
through the front panel window.  Joe KB9R just sent me some photos of his
very excellent implementation of the Drake meter in his Navigator.  I
compared his photo to my Navigator sitting right here and it was hard to
tell the difference other than the label he has on the front.  

Oooh, a hi res meter scale face sounds good.  I was thinking of breaking
open the Navigator meter in order to extract the meter face with the Viking
over the "J" logo, printing it out, slipping it into the Drake meter.  I'm
thinking it would look 99% Navigator original,

Thanks for your advice and recommendations.  73, Scott WA9WFA

Hi Scott,
As far as I know, the  meters used in the Drake 4 line are  replacements.
Some years back there was  even a hi res meter scale face for this purpose.
I may  still have it in my files.
