Received the new meters tonight. Being an excitable boy I put one in the radio, and then the channel display quit working. Figured out it gets power and ground through the ribbon cable. The one I'd been casually pushing on a bit when reattaching the meter lamp wires. Reseated the cable at the mainboard end, channel display is back on!

New meter works. I'll have to adjust the trimpots that feed it, I'm sure.

Played a bit with receive signal level. Feeding in down to about -120 dBm, I can hear a signal. At -123 I think I can hear a signal, but that could be the power of suggestion. Point being, the radio's not as deaf as I initially thought.
