Most of the Sola/GS/Dielectric meters and slugs have a Coaxial Dynamics
equivalent. The part numbers for the slugs are easy to cross-reference -
prefix the Dielectric part number with an "8" and you the equivalent CD part
number (e.g. 2327 = 82327).
Secret decoder ring - whether the part number is 2xyz (Dielectric) or 82xyz
(Coaxial Dynamics), the x digits is the line section size:
0 = 7/8"
1 = 1-5/8"
3 = 3-1/8"
4 = 4-1/16
6 = 6-1/8"
What you have are elements for a 1-5/8" line section, 30 uA meter movement.
They read so high because the coupling arm is too close to the center
conductor when installed in a 7/8" line section (Bird 43 or other).
Hope this helps.
