"Jim Shorney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ----------------------------------------------------------------------
I received the Motorola 20uA panel meter today that I purchased through that e-place. It's an almost exact physical match to the meter movement in the WV-4! It appears to have been made by the same vendor. The differences: Black pointer instead of red 20uA, vs. 200 uA (easily dealt with using Ohm's Law...) Gray highlighting instead of black on the plastic front cover Four-point mounting instead of three - the Drake movement has four empty holes in the case where the mounting bolts are in the Motorola, and the Motorola has mold marks where the three mounting bolts are in the Drake movement. The taut-band movement appears to be the same design, as do the case parts; the curvature of the front plastic cover is even identical to that of the Drake meter movement. I've already completely disassembled the bad Drake meter movement, and the guts and scale should transfer over easily from the Motorola. Looks like it will work fine. The seller says that he has more of these, if anyone else needs a replacement meter movement for a W-4/WV-4. 73 -Jim -- Ham Radio NU0C TR7/RV7, TR6/RV6, T4XC/R4C, L4B, NCL2000, SB104A, R390A, GT550A/RV550A, HyGain 3750, IBM PS/2 - all vintage, all the time!
