[R-390] Sources for meter movements?

[Barry]

Hmmm.  Looking at the selection, the "Ideal VU Meter" as well as the
"Simpson 1 ma fs 100 ohm" meters might be candidates as well.  They don't
state the size of them, but the Simpson looks a lot like the ones I've seen
on R390A's.  You'd need the faceplate cover, though, and I doubt they have
those.
