Hi Steve
The surplus market has been dried up for some time. This site has fair
pricing for new meters and has the largest selection I have ever seen.

Subject: [Amps] Meters for HB amps?
Hello all,
Looking for analog meters f/u/w the current amp I am building, and for any
in the future. I have done quite a bit of searching on the Internet and
really haven't found quite what I think I need.
A matching pair of 1 ma movement meters is all I'm looking for.
The old standby 'Weston type' round meters are now considered 'antiques'
and come with silly prices attached. Surplus houses don't have anything
that will quite do it for me, either. Weird looking, wrong movement, only
one, really tiny or VERY large, etc.
I can get some direct from China for $4, but I can guess how that will
work out.
Meters for commercial/industrial use are hundreds of dollars.
Should I really expect to pay $50, and up, for a 'Modutec' style of meter?
I can't imagine the market for reasonably priced meters has dried up that
much, or costs have risen that much.
