does anyone here have any experience with the original dixson meter that was stock on an ampex 440 electronics? Im trying to find a replacement meter and am having trouble sourcing something that will drop in. Its a through hole panel mount meter (as opposed to the kind that mounts from the rear panel with a bezel), the main hole is 54mm and there are two mounting screws 65mm on center. The front panel dimensions are 100mm by 68mm. Id like to find something that will drop right in those holes, or something that will fit with little modification, I dont want to fabricate an entire new faceplate to accomodate a new meter.

Id like to find the best quality meter I can and price is not an issue. Not opposed (would actually prefer) to finding an old meter, just dont know any models that will drop in.

If anyone has any ideas, Id appreciate it!

thanks

Have you checked with the Ampex mailing list http://recordist.com/ampex/ Someone there might know or the archives might give an answer.
