and the one with the round meter..The round meter looks much more natural in the amp than the stock meter..

I agree, the original looks like a cheap Emico meter on a battery charger. I'd look for a matching pair of round MIL meters and have the scales redone. If you buy 1mA or less, you can locate the shunt at the tubes.

  It also acts like the meter on the old cheap battery chargers in that the needle bounces around.

How in the world did you ever get a pair of them? I lucked into one almost 20 years ago when I had just started in the hobby, and sold it before I knew what I had. I have always regretted it, and I have never seem another, let alone a pair. Is the iron in them as good as I think it is? Now I really am envious Mike!

  so I just told the hands of fate that I'm entitled to a pair by nature of birth. LOL.
  
  All kidding aside,I have 700 in this pair because I bought them separately back in 2010.
