[Milsurplus] Hunting itsy meter

[Unserviceable but Repairable]

Impossible dream dept. 

Don't pitch yet, a mil-connection emerges as a footnote.

Meter 1.6" (40mm) square.  .5ma / 9K.  Calibrated 0-10 in white & beyond 2 
div'ns in red.  Used as recording level (VU sorta) indicator.

Sez MT123B & Made in Japan on face.  One of 2 such meters on a 
Concertone/Teac 505. 

Can do w/o by putting dpdt switch in a hole blanker, but then it'd be 
a give-away I owned it.

Using it to xfer .25" 4-track tapes fm early-60s.  Gospel group in 
Ga.  Original Ampex A122 survives & revived.  But murders the brittle
acetate w. it's mechanical clutches, et. al.  

Spent so much time w. a Gibson Girl (one lives) tape splicer I jumped in 
on 505.

Concertone is 3-motor deck &, after scads or work, again gives it's as-new
velvet touch.

And that's the truth.

  Tnx

 Meter-fixer might be answer.  Front helical spring came unsoldered from
 "adjustment arm."  
 
 Gonna bring it to a watchmaker that kept the stereo Magnecorders going on 
 the Pueblo.  Sed they recorded 2 tracks of the "other side's" CW on 
 each transport.  Trax interspersed w. audio insertions of time & freq.
 
 Crude but effective?
