Meters found & are on the way.  Thanks everyone for the support.  The
mock up for the maritime museum is coming along fine !  The next issue
is a 2 1/4" wide X 2 13/16" tall opening that had a turns counter.  That
will be a challenge !

Cheers,

Doug W5JV

Subject: Meter Search continues . . .

Found 2 but still need 2 more.  The rig has 4 meters across its face.

Meters are 2 3/8" Square Black bakelite.  One missing one is for filament voltage so a 10V or 15V scale will work.
The other missing meter is for Plate PA and any KV scale will work.  0 - 2kv would be ideal.  Actually an RF current
 might work in a pinch.

These are vintage black 2 3/8" square meters using a 2 1/4" hole.  Lots of vintage Collins rigs used these
as did RCA *(Radiomarine) & McKay Radio rigs.

Thanks in advance for looking.
