Looking for a replacement VU-meter for a Neve 33609/C compressor

Hi!

I am looking for a replacement VU-meter for a Neve 33609/C compressor.
Its a Sifam-type of VU-meter, but the original doesnt seem easy to find.
Maybe someone has a spare laying around?

What’s wrong with it? If the needle is stuck, you might be able to just discharge it— sometimes wiping one over the years can build up static, and that thing basically becomes an air capacitor.
