Finally I got a "scrap" EL3301 and a spare meter for some Euros. The "scrap" unit after I opened it up I realized that was not so scrap after all! I carefully removed the sticky goo of the belts remnant and checked the electronics, cleaned it and lubricated it. It seemed in good condition for its age. I installed a spare set of belts and loaded a cassette. It sounded not so good. It needed an azimuth adjustment as well as speed adjustment. I performed both and it turned to sound good connected to an amplifier via its line-out. I replaced then the broken meter of the other EL3301 with the the spare one. Now I have two EL3301 in good condition. My advice to those who intent to replace a broken EL3301 meter is not to try to desolder the wires from the new meter tags. You probably will ruin the meter. Cut the wires instead and connect them to the remaining wires of EL3301.
