Sometimes you get lucky. I found this at a local hamfest recently. (June 2009) The price tag tells the story. | |
In 1952 someone built this "Antenna Scope" sort of RF indicator using an AR-88 meter movement. | |
I was concerned that it might not be "the" meter, but when I got it out of the instrument I discovered that it had the proper hole for the pilot light, carefully sealed up with electrical tape. It's also marked 5 ma. in pencil. | |
Interior view of the factory-installed meter in my #1 AR-88D. Here's my PDF'ed drawing of the mounting plate. AR-88_Meter_Mount.cdr.pdf Print it out. In Vista select paper scaling = NONE. Check that the dimensions are correct. Paste it to your stock, then center-punch the holes. |
