Where can I find 2" to 2½" round, analog A/C volt and amp meters? I want to build a full functioning Lionel 439 replica. My guess is that the voltage should be 0- 20 and the amperage 0 to 10. Thanks.
I had to resort to searching the web (struck out at Radio Shack etc.), and that was for the basic rectangular volt and amp gauges. Sorry I don’t have the names of the vendors, as it has been some time ago, but try your favorite search engine. I was surprised that in some cases the cost of a meter alone was more for than buying a K-line voltmeter car!
Good Luck,
Stack
I’ve bought several AC ammeters from Loys Toys. Under $20. Nice people. Here is a pic of what the meters look like. Sorry it’s not a closeup.

You might try “All Electronics Corp.” (www.allelectronics.com)
Here is a link to a panel mounted 5 amp AC meter they sell:[link]http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/item/PMA-5A/search/5A_AC_PANEL_METER_.html[/link]
Here is a link to a panel mounted 15 amp AC meter they sell:[link]http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/item/PMA-15A/385/15A_AC_PANEL_METER_.html[/link]
They also sell panel mount volt meters.
You can find AC analog panel meters but not necessarily classic round units. You might have to search E-Bay for the old style units.
This place has a couple amp meters with round faces
