Yep, good ideas and I'll explore the possibility. If the face will
mount on the new meter, I can probably do without the back-lit feature.
Or...if I'm real clever, and the way is clear, I could drill and
grommet bush a lamp into the case. I was able to trick-bag a
hallicrafters meter that way, so maybe this one too? I'll have a look?

Is it possible the meter movement might fit the older case?


Actually, the "new" meter fits the hole and looks about the same type.
The differences are that the RME has a yellow, logo'd, back-lit scale,
whereas the new meter has a white face. Both have "S" scales. Maybe
I should simply count blessings and press on?

Some meters, particularly the older ones, can be disassembled. In this
case you may be able to swap parts until you have a working one with the
right appearance, and a pile of useless parts that look like they could
be from a meter.
