    The second number is an old style -hp- part number. I 
found the next higher number is one of the meters on the 
608D. I suspect this may be from a 608C or perhaps one of 
the microwave generators. I don't have the istruction books 
for them on this computer and I am on a dial-up here so 
downloading them would be slow. However I think if you check 
the parts list you will find this meter. There are many 
older instruction manuals at:

    606 is probably the Weston type number, they used three 
digit type numbers. I don't think it refers to the 
instrument. This type of meter was simply never used on the 
606A/B generator.
