Again putting out feelers for a preamp project, looking at something like a Sifam AL20SQ (as a modern equivalent if I can't locate anything) but if anyone has anything more vintage in a similar style, please let me know. Must fit comfortably in a 2U panel so no taller than 88mm/3.5", preferably smaller than 76mm/3". Similar to Simpson and Triplett style, rounded rectangle bakelite/black bezel, rectangle/half round window etc.

Cheers!
 
I do not have the type of VUs you are looking for but I have a ready made 2U case for a dual mic-amp, if it is of interest. I had made two. A friend of mine has bought one and is building a pair of Ian's (Ruff Records) tube mic pres. I have the second one available.

Gain knobs and VUs are borrowed from old Uher Reporter tapes. VU bezels are custom made.

PM if it is of interest.

Just while I'm exploring some options, thought I'd bump this and add that Sifam AL29/39B is of interest, ie the utilitarian black bezel rectangular remniscent of some old Ampex units, and similar...
