I could use a few large mechanical VU meters. What's a good source? Anybody have
any to unload (or is that like asking for a Fairchild 670?)

Maybe take a look at the Coleman Audio MB4. It consists of four fairly
large VUs in a 2U space. I've had one for years and like it a lot.

In stock for $699 at Swee****er - and you get free candy, too.

You could try this:

I haven't bought a mechanical meter in a very long time, but Modutec
used to have some very nice meters and options. There are other choices
on the Jewell site.

You can always just bite the bullet and buy new ones from Allied. But they
aren't cheap...

I noticed. I cringe at the thought of how many I've thrown into the landfill or
dumpster. If I can find a couple of 4-1/2" ones, I'll be happy.

You might try Fair Radio Sales, they occasionally have pulls.

Hoyt Instruments has a selection of VU analog meters with a choice of
"A" or "B" scale from 2-1/2" to 4-1/2 retangular. Sounds like what
your looking for.
