Hi,


Unfortunately, there are no mechanical reproduction replacement meters for the Citation II that are of the right form factor. I am pretty sure McShane offers a solution for the Citation V .. none available for the Citation II.

It is not uncommon for these meters to fail they are exceedingly difficult to repair. Dust or some other particles can get in the movement or worse- the coil burns out.

Determine if there is indeed voltage going through to the swith movement and then the meter. If so, and the meter is unrepairable then the best solution is test points and a good DMM or you could possibly use a digital panel meter - about $10-$15 that would fit the through the existing hole with a stud mount and some creative bezel work with some plastic sheet or fiberboard etc. You would need a 9v dc supply that could be a battery.

All doable and could be an interesting project.


Goodluck.
