[Boatanchors] Need an old Simpson 2" round panel meter

[Frank Barnes]

I have a number of Simpson meters in my junque box, including some round
ones.  Simpson actually had a couple of different designs on their meter
bezels.  If we get the wrong design, the zero-centering screw (and perhaps
other stuff) won't work.  If you could provide a photo of the front of the
old one, I will see if I have a match.  All mine are used but work so far
as I know.  Some bezels have age-related grime on them and will have to be
cleaned but that should not be a problem.
