[R-390] TV-7 Meter

[k2cby]

I had a TV-7 meter problem some years ago.

 

The cause turned out to be the little electrolytic that’s hung across the
meter terminals (which had failed open).

 

By the time I traced the problem the meter movement had gone west from
oscillating back and forth and had to be replaced.

 

I discovered that the meter is an ordinary run of the mill 50 µA movement
(Simpson I think).

 

I easily found a replacement and simply swapped dials (didn’t even have to
drill new holes in the dial for the mounting screws).
