[Test-Equipment] HP-606 panel meter

[Carl]

My regularly used 606A is rectangular.

The 606's we got at National around 1967 were rectangular also and drifted 
like crazy and HP quickly came up with the 606A fix. The originals drifted 
more than the GR-1001A's we had and I didnt think anything could be worse. 
Luckily we still had the GR's stored in the attic.
