[Heathkit] SB 220

[Doug Shields]

Sean and everyone,
    I believe you are thinking of Ron Oxley at RTO electronics
(http://www.rtoham.com).  He only lists one meter (407-0761) on his parts
page.  I don't think it is the same part number as the SB-220 meter.  The
SB-220 meters are fairly hard to find.  There has been a NOS meter for the
SB-220 on Ebay recently but I recall that it had a VERY high opening price.
However, finding the face plate may be a bit easier than a whole meter as it
is usually the meter coil that opens up.  The face should not be damaged
unless the meter gets crushed.
