FT-101e Meter issue

While?evaluating?an old rig for a friend, I discovered the meter in a FT-101E is not working.
I found using a millivolt source and series current limiting resistor that the meter coil is open.
Substituting my Fluke on the 300mv range I was able to get readings, although it is difficult to
correlate them to what they would be on an analog meter.
?
I could not find? specs on what the micro amp rating?for the meter.
?
Searching epay, I found rigs to be parted out but no individual meter movement that has been scavenged
from a rig.
?
I would be interested in finding data about and ?a source for the meter movement.
?
Thanks

Hi Tim,
When I search eBay for FT-101 meter I get about 10 results for S meters including one for $16 delivered. Item # 114863571802 .
Before putting in a good meter suggest checking the IC current measurement section resistors first.

Roger,

Yes, I agree I have to check the circuit before replacing the meter and destroying a new meter.
I will search ebay again and see if I can find the item you mention.
Thanks
