Gary and the group

Ten Tec didn’t go out of their way to source that meter. It’s a cheap ‘CB’ type 
meter, and I bet they didn’t pay over .50 each for them.

when one in my scouts went out, I found a CB meter in the junk box, took the 
old one apart and slipped the scale  out

I put it into the new CB meter and it fits and works like factory.

If you don’t have a walk in junk box like me, try the surplus places like all 
electronics.

A man with one clock knows what time it is. A man with two clocks is never sure.
