It appears there is another option for those of you who fight with this part. So while this part was not originally designed for this set, it does work on the machine to make your hertz meter work again! I have installed one on an 003A here today and it worked just fine. I was discussing doing this swap a few weeks ago with @jamawieb, and he actually confirmed it worked after our discussion. Was time for me to get around to doing it too. Next is an 002 here with the same issue.
The item in question can be found on the big auction site for a good price ($12.90) under the search phrase "New Technology Research Corp. TRC Frequency Transducer Control Converter 60 HZ " with free shipping.

The holes don't line up exactly, so I opened each top mounting hole with a 1/4" drill bit, and was able to make them pull tight. It used only the top 2 mounts. You could drill 2 more, or leave as is. I am going to get small rubber plugs to fill the bottom (2) holes in the operator control cube..
