I wonder what it is that makes these meters so prone to failure?

They certainly weren't cheap knockoffs.

Hola Steve.
This is. 200 uA. Meter
model is 83T
my amp is L75
I don’t know if the bigger L7 also uses the same meter.
Do you remember the eBay sellers name??

Thanks and greetings from sunny YS country.

Thanks. Mine has a very low serial number, so it's probably "unsplit." :)

Hey, Dale,

Is the split chassis characteristic of early or late units, etc?

My L75 amp developed a problem on the meter. No longer responds.
Have checked it and the signal is reaching it.
The internal circuit on the meter is simply open.
Have look for replacements but no longer in production.

Any suggestions where could I find one?
Is this meter the same used on the L7? I don't have an L7 so no idea.

Last resource would be to buy a Chinese meter and install it on an external box. :-( sad option and the last.
Hate to modify equipment. Love to see things original and clean, in all its glory.

Open to ideas and suggestions.

David,

I'm so glad do see you are doing okay.? Scary event and glad to see prayers answered.? Stay well!

Barry - N4BUQ

I want to take some time to thank:

Michael Smith for the well wishes and the beautiful and thoughtful Scripture?references.? I have read them several times.

Peter and Heather Shilton for their prayers.? They have been felt and I believe?have worked.? Thank?you both.

Frank Barnes for the well wishes.

Barry, N4BUQ for his well wishes.

All of you did not have to respond.? All of you did not have to say nice things and wished me well and extended your prayers and thoughts to me.? Please know I am humbled?and impressed that a technical net is occupied by thoughtful folks.

Here is the latest that your warm thoughts here have worked:

Some history (excuse me as I wanted to teach history: that did not happen, but still like it):

Friday after Mass I changed and went outside to freeze proof the water pipes and the well head?as we are going to get freezing weather.? Here in the deep South, that is an issue as it seldom occurs.?

I came inside and told my beautiful bride that I was dizzy and out of breath for the chore I just accomplished.? I also told her that in my daily bathroom?routine there was blood in the toilet bowl.

She called the doctor who told us to go to the emergency?room of the hospital.

We waited 4 hours and finally saw a doctor who preliminarily diagnosed some leakage inside.? So a?test and several procedures discovered an ulcer in the upper intestine that was bleeding.? A first attempt to seal this off was partially successful, the second?attempt?apparently?has worked.

I am home now.? It is 26 F outside with a prediction to be 7F with the wind this morning.??

I know your kind thoughts and prayers did the trick and helped?me tremendously.? You did not have to step out of bounds to do what you did.? I am very grateful.? I hope my antifreeze efforts work as well.

Blessings and I hope you all have a peaceful and productive day tomorrow.

David,

I am thankful you are able, in your present condition, to communicate.? Hear the encouragement that the LORD has given us.? Here is eternal power:

The counsel of the LORD stands for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.? Psalm 33.11

For whatever was written of old was written for our learning, that we through patience, and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.? Romans 14.5.?[The word “might” does not confer a random variable.? Here, might is the noun perfect tense of “may.” ?Recall perfect tense definition as applied to grammar, expresses an action of being perfectly past or finished, often that which is just past or compete, but without a specification of time.? Hope is the certainty of the Truth, the Word.? Another way to accurately read this verse is, “Although not being given a specific time interval, we have absolute certainty that the promises of the Almighty are sure (faithful); His providential care gives us comfort to wait upon Him for completion or deliverance with respect to the needs.”

God has said this once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs unto God.? Also unto Thee, O LORD, belongs mercy; for Thou renderest [gives up; surrenders] to every man according to his work.? Psalm 62.11-12

O LORD, Thou wilt give us peace; for Thou also has wrought?[effected; performed; produced]?all our works for us.? Isaiah 26.12

Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His Holy name.? Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.? Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.? The LORD executes righteousness and judgement for all that are oppressed.? Psalm 103.1-6

But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that reverence Him, and His righteousness to children’s children.? Psalm 103.17

The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold; but the LORD tries the heart.? Proverbs 17.3

In summary, this is the Word from Holy God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, being justified by faith, let us have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; through Him we have been brought by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and are proud in the hope of this glory of God.? And not only so, but we also glory in our tribulations; knowing that tribulation perfects patience in us; and patience, experience; and experience, hope; and hope causes no one to be ashamed; because the love of God is poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given to us.? Romans 5.1-5

Whoever believes in Me, just as the Scriptures have said, the rivers of living water shall flow from within him.? He said this concerning the Sprit, which they who believe in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified.? John 7.38-39
?
God has made it so, by the raw and refined materials given to us, and by the knowledge of His Creation (physical phenomena and mathematics), to glorify Him with world wide communications; He made the ionosphere.? Rest well.? Your work awaits, you.

Grace and peace to you on this Good Day;

73, Michael, N4KZO
