[Hammarlund] Yellow meters?

[Les Locklear]

The older meters were made of plastics that had no uv inhibitors which were 
unheard of then. The later Hammarlund HQ-100's, 170's and 180's were much 
better, some were made of metal and painted white. The SP-600's were all 
metal.

I'm sure the heat, nicotine and other airborne pollutants led to their early 
discoloration.
