I've had this Simpson 260 series 6, since the early 70's, and the
movers recently smashed in the glass on the front of the meter
movement.

I know I can buy good used ones for around $50 on ebay, if I just
wanted another meter, but what about just replacing the meter
movement in this one? Does anyone sell used meter movements for
these, for less money than a whole used meter would cost on Ebay?

If it is just the glass, then that is simple to replace by making a
paper pattern and going to a glass shop with the pattern (*NOT* the
meter!!).
If the needle is partly bent, it can be straightened out - but do it
slowly and carefully; *NO* sharp bends, else may break the metal.
