Replacement meters for Mcintosh MC2125


I have an MC2125 amp with broken meters, and unfortunately Mcintosh no longer sells replacements. From my understanding, McIntosh has 2 different types of meters that could vary on 2 factors: size, and the labeled db/wattage scale.

So, if I can figure out what other Mcintosh models use the same Size meters as the mc2125, I can just buy those, use their guts and replace the backing (scale behind meter) with the ones from my mc2125.

Does anyone happen to know which models would have the same size meters? I've had a couple people guess mc2155, or any of the mc2200 line, but if i could get some confident answers or ideas on how to research an answer myself than that would be very helpful.

Thanks!!

Are you sure it's the meter and not the drive circuitry to the meters? It seems a bit odd that both meters would have failed.
I would pull the board and replace any electrolytic caps on it. I would also go over all the solder connections looking for cold solder joints.
If the amp is at least 10 years old they are probably not SMD's. However, if you are not well versed in soldering you can easily damage the circuit board traces. I suggest you let a service professional handle that for you. You can also damage the IC's themselves by overheating them. Maybe you can pull the boards out, and if he has a way to test them, send them to Terry and have him do it.
