[Collins] Re:- Collins Meter Needles

[Jim Isbell]

OK, now I have to weigh in on this subject.  

I have 32S-1 #230 and it has the earliest of meters, one without the 
Collins logo, fluted around the adjusting screw, Simpson logo, and it 
has a straight pointer.  

I also have two 73S-1s, #10688 and a second one with a serial number 
less than 200 (cant see it since its been stacked on right now)  
The two receivers have two different meters. The earliest serial number 
has a fluted meter, with Collins logo in small font, and a straight 
pointer.  The #10688 has a smooth meter, no flutes, Collins logo in 
large font, and straight pointer.  I have never seen a spade end pointer.
