I would be interested to buy good second-hand VU meters by

Those SIFAMs are current product. In fact they only made them like that
to pander to modern 'retro' styling !

I have spoken with Sifam about these, and asked
for a quote. They still make the retro AL20
because it was used in a large percentage of UK
built studio and broadcast equipment - much of which is
being refurbished as the meters were taken out for use
in some other piece of equipment - so there is a demand.

Ernest Turner is no longer in business unfortunately as their
meters are the most sought after.

What on earth makes you think
there's any NOS ?

I narrowly missed buying a box of ten pieces NOS 1962
just before Christmas.
