Well the next victim is my LAMBDA LP 411 FM.. This needs the ER.. Picture 1 tells the tale. I need a new meter new binding post (black) I should have that at least. Also the current meter needs both a new lens, and scale the meter itself looks ok. The meter looks like a standard 1.5 inch GE movement (ebay). The current limiter shaft is bent, I don't know if that can be fixed. By looking at the yellow triangle it said 81/82 but the orange tag says: 1972/73.
Manufacture: | LAMBDA | |
Model Number: | LP 411 FM | |
Serial Number: | 8539 | |
Output Voltage: | 0 - 20vdc | |

So what do you know the thing powered up. Man i'm impressed. I have to open it up to fix it. So instead of being asked for interior shots here they are:

Ok lets get to it.
- Bad News for the black binding post... no gots, so I just ordered one on eBay from China.
- It looks like I'm going luck out again. The dam panels bent. Not the pot's shaft! That means an entire tare down of the front panels. There are really two of them. The pretty face and the backer.
- Just as I thought it is a GE meter 18811LCL1AAN. The meter movement is undamaged. now to just find a donor lens and scale. (Figure 4)
- Stupid me .... remember to unplug the damn thing... I had to reset the breaker, and most likely replace a blown fuse or two.
- Next, let's take the panel apart to straighten the back gray panel (lots of little nuts and bolts) (Figure 5)
- Wow, the back plate is really tweaked (Figure 6), I will have to put this on hold till I can get the panel restored.
