If the replacement meter works properly,
and the modification was done neatly,
why not just leave it alone? If a good meter ever becomes
available, then change it out.
Not many folks would know, or care about the difference.

I suppose I could always change meters with my first SX-28 and then keep
an eye out for a replacement or just dispose of that set as-is. The
thought of having two of these beasts open for surgery on the same
workbench is a little daunting, tho' :-)

Well, Beede is still in business AND they supplied some of the meters for
Hallicrafters radios (e.g. S36, S37)
