Bob,
There are a few sources out there for meter repair.  I personally have not 
used one, but you may want to call one or more of them to see what they can 
do for you.

Here's a link to good info for Drake parts and resources: 
http://www.wb4hfn.com/DRAKE/DrakePageHome.htm

To get to the right link, go to the bottom of the page and click on "Drake 
parts, materials and resources".  That then opens a pdf document.  Go to 
page 11 for meter information.

The best thing would be to buy another w-4 and salvage the meter.  Quite 
often we see them on ebay and hamfests where the case is buggered up or 
glass is scratched or broken, but the meter is good.  That’s the one you 
want.

I too have a nice one, but I converted it to peak reading some years back. 
Still works great.

Good luck,
Dave

Sir,  Got your name from the RL Drake web site.  I dropped my beloved W-4 
wattmeter.  It looks to be perfect except for the needle in the meter itself 
lying horizontally in the bottom of the meter face.  The meter movement is 
toast and I am having a terrible time finding a replacement.  Can you help 
or advise a source of the replacement meter or even the meter movement?  I 
don?t need the whole W4 or the case, just the meter.  The ideal solution 
would be a W4 hit by lightening with the logic board destroyed but the meter 
intact.



73,
