[R-390] FS Line Level Meters

[pete wokoun, sr.]

Regarding the line level meters, I failed to mentioned the obvious:
These are negatives of the one in my '390. That is, these are black 
lettering on white background, whereas the one in mine is white lettering on 
black background.  Other than that, the same.

>Hi 'Team R390':
>  I recently acquired 4 line level meters I don't need and am offering them 
>to this group first, hopefully to those truely lacking one.  These appear 
>identical to the original one on my R390A in size, scale markings, and 
>sensitivity.
>  These are 1-3/4" square size and nominal Vu meter sensitivity (0 dB=1 mW 
>@ 600 ohm).  They all work and have the correct scale markings and read 
>within a couple dB of each other.  I would imagine the difference is due to 
>resistor and diode aging internal in the meters.  If you want absolute 
>accuracy, you might adjust the resistor values around the S105 line meter 
>switch circuitry.
>  These meters are pulls from equipment and in good condition.  The meter 
>bezels are clean, flat black without any heavy scratches and no broken 
>glass.  The rubber around the rear terminals is hard and a couple show 
>cracking.  Probably not a true sealed meter anymore.  These are NOT the 
>radioactive 'glow in the dark' kind.  The front labeling shows these as 
>International brand, model 163, MIL type MR13W128SPECR and 'ruggedized'.  
>Manufacture codes on their backs show late '60 and early '61 dates.  See 
>attached files for a scan of the actual meter faces.  Four black mounting 
>screws and nuts and the rubber gasket will be included with each.  Solder 
>lugs are attached to the back posts.
>  Asking $75 each which includes USPS priority mailing with insurance to US 
>addresses.  If the response for these exceeds the supply, I will throw all 
>responses received over several days into a hat and pull names, giving 
>everyone an equal opportunity for ONE.  I prefer a postal money order from 
>folks I don't know.
>
>73s, and a happy thanksgiving to all!
