Replacement meters for Mcintosh MC2125

I have an MC2125 amp with broken meters, and unfortunately Mcintosh no longer sells replacements. From my understanding, McIntosh has 2 different types of meters that could vary on 2 factors: size, and the labeled db/wattage scale.

So, if I can figure out what other Mcintosh models use the same Size meters as the mc2125, I can just buy those, use their guts and replace the backing (scale behind meter) with the ones from my mc2125.

Does anyone happen to know which models would have the same size meters? I've had a couple people guess mc2155, or any of the mc2200 line, but if i could get some confident answers or ideas on how to research an answer myself than that would be very helpful.

Thanks!!

Tried that, but they had no suggestions on fixing them or where I could find the size of the meter...

Thanks everyone for the helpful advice... I called a Terry with DeWick Mcintosh repair and he was VERY helpful. He mentioned it could be one of the 6 the integrated circuits on the vertical board behind the meters referenced above (is this the driver board or meter board?)

I was thinking I could swap those 6 IC's out fairly easily if none of the other suggestions pan out with success. Does anyone happen to know if the IC's are surface mounted (soldered) or are they pinned? I want to go ahead and order some so I have them handy when I take it apart. That beast is too heavy to move around and open up just to peak at a circuit board if someone already knows the answer :)

Thanks everyone for your helpful suggestions!
