[Test-Equipment] HP-606 panel meter

[Carl]

Actually, HP mixed a few round meters in with the mostly rectangular and 
square ones which are more the norm in the vintage era.

The 606 meter is 3 3/4" W x 3 1/4" H and is the smaller of the rectangulars 
but has different scales. Yours sounds more like a 60's  431 power meter or 
VSWR meter.
