Cobra 135XLR white meter insert?

[El Kabong]

I can hardly see this darn dark stock meter. Does anyone know of a 135XLR white meter insert? Gamma Ray doesn't make them, he says.

Snake radio customs uses them... You may try contacting him

 

[El Kabong]

Thanks. I will.

Just talked to The Snake. He has no 135 inserts. Must have them custom made. $$$

Snake doesn't make the inserts.
A shop called 'Gamma-Ray-Graphics' makes them:

Can't say that he has them or makes them for the 135; but at least give him a call or an email and he can at least set you straight.

 

[El Kabong]

Nope. Neither have them. Custom order. $70+
I'm gonna pass.

Wow...

Ok, well there is always the Garage sale or Dumpsterdiver method of locating not the workngi radio, the parts from them that didn't.

Not too many people think of "reusing" old meter faces...

Radio Shack - bless their heart, had older analog S/RF meters that used a "green tint" mask / face directly on the meter's "scale holder" which comes off easily enough.

IF you can get your hands on some older Radio Shack TRC-443 (Read this at mid to late 90's) era radios you may have located a working template.
