Bbmfic,
Sorry but No Copper does not have OEM/Replacement parts.
Try doing a GOOGLE search for "Cobra 2000 GTL Parts"

You may be able to save the meters on the radio.
Carefully remove the meters from the radio and VERY CAREFULLY remove the front covers from them.
Check to see if the 'needle' (indicator) is touching/dragging on the meter face or the cover.
If it is, just GENTLY adjust it with a toothpick or other small object.
If the 'needle' is not touching anything, try a small shot of 'tuner cleaner' or
silicone spray on the meter movement (coil).
BE SURE TO REMOVE POWER FROM RADIO BEFORE SERVICING
Hope this helps. Good Luck.
