Quality built Japanese meter, often these are found in retro analog mixing desks although of course with a different front scale fitted.
SHINOHARA Panel Meter
Made In Japan
Model: SD-460
100uA FSD
DC coil resistance measured as 903 Ohm
Dimensions: 60mm wide x 46mm height x 40mm deep (including the terminals)
Movement "barrel" requires a hole in the front panel 39mm diameter
Mounting bolts are all spaced 35mm apart from each other
All nuts, spade connectors etc are included for fitting
I believe this meter has a built-in backlight facility, accessed using the two rear/top solder terminals BUT these measure open circuit, so the incandescent lamp filament must have failed. I tried to look inside the meter movement (without dismantling it) but I cannot actually see the lamp filament.
COSMETIC CONDITION:
Front clear plastic window is clean and without scratching
Scale is clean
Meter pointer is fine and NOT bent!
Nice dampening on this movement, the needle smoothly moves when current is flowing and ceased.
This meter is now in sealed plastic to protect it from dust/dirt - prior to shipping, the terminals will be shorted with a wire link to protect the movement.
