22-410 meter from Radio Shack. RIP. Decent substitute?

The senior guy at my local R-S says the 22-410 nominal 15 V F.S. meter was discontinued in 2011. Sigh.

I've looked at what Velleman offers and am dissatisfied. I also hate the cheesy meters sold at car parts stores. I have popped the lid of the one remaining 22-410 I own and customized it with some color-dot callouts, but in the process I let a little slip of the Datak film slip down in there, and I can see it but not retrieve it. Yes, I've tried the Scotch tape trick. Roops, I'm a bad person.

Seems to work OK but I know that some day it'll mess up on me.

d'Arsonval movements are out of fashion, I know, but I really like the fact that this sucker only draws 1 mA full scale, is "always on", and reads the voltage fluctuations in my car's electrical system without requiring the cognitive load a DVM does.

Anyone know a good source for this sort of thing? I could wish for illumination and possibly white-needle-on-black-face, but the 80-20 payoff is what I've got now and am content with.

eBay for this exact meter is a no-go, so far.
