[Milsurplus] Meters -- R-390 A

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Pete (and Group),

I have around 50 pieces of a Weston 1011, which is very similar in appearance 
to the ones on the military Collins sets.  Range is 0-1 DCMA.  Scale is 
strange.  I never measured the resistance of the movement (nor do I know what that 
figure is for the ones on the R-390A except that I think I recall someone 
saying that they were different).  I sold a batch of them to someone on one of 
these lists year before last but never heard back the results.
