[R-390] Meters - Back Lighting

[DCrespy@aol.com]

I have not posted in a while, but I do have something on this topic, so..

I have been collecting all of the R-390A size/style meters I could over the 
last 4 or 5 years (as I am sure most of us do..).  

About 2 years ago, I picked up 4 meters that were backlit from the factory.  
These are not meters for the R-390, but are the correct size and style for 
the radio.  They are the "International" brand / construction. All four were 
identical and had frosted plastic scales, that the light illuminates from 
behind.  The top of the rear vertical surface of the housing is recessed and 
has a hole for a lamp like the 390 dial lamps.  There is a small plastic 
piece that snaps over the lamp to hold it in place and to facilitate making 
electrical connections.  Pretty slick actually.   (They were 1mA 100 ohm 
movements as I recall.)

I'll make pictures for those interested. (But the meters are not for sale).
