The Meter & scaling appears to be quite old.
It appears to Be an RCA Meter Panel. The Weston Meter has had a decal placed
on it for use in monitoring and of several units manufactured by RCA, GE and
Collins AGC/Compressor - Limiter type devices. The units had an output that
measured the control voltage usually to a tube type 6386 which would be set to
"0" or 100% on the VU Meter. With no gain reduction the pointer would stay
at 100%. As audio input was increased the meter would swing down from 100%
showing the amount of gain reduction.
The decal is showing its age by the darkening color.
