looks like your finding more options Keep looking!

also I think you could make a nice wood one w Cylon meters w all your wood working skill and it would be unique
But you can Keep looking for options

Gut that one. I think it can use either line level or speaker level.

Or gut this. Line level only, but adjustable. (maybe he'll sell the parts without the case for less?)

Part of the appeal of these amps are the giant meters. It's going to be very hard to find any others as large, and a good fit to the bezel is unlikely. I'd sit it aside until the correct meters are available. No doubt you have penty of other projects to focus on Gene.
