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!!

All of the above responders gave you good advice. However, that model always had trouble with their meters. Mine used to intermittently quit working. As I stated in another post, there is a vertical circuit board directly behind each meter that is removable. Pulling the board out and pushing it back in helped, but occasionally occured again. My opinion is that there is some inherent problem with this model and it's meters, as you're not the first guy to make this complaint. My problems occurred over 30 yrs ago when I owned it, so this problem of yours is nothing new. My 2 cents worth, anyway.
As near as I can recall, the circuit boards directly behind each meter are totally removable, and are strictly for each meter. You just have to unplug the wires leading to the meter. The IC's that have been mentioned are soldered in place, so Hifigeek gave you good advice if this isn't your forte.
