Vintage meters

Just scored these from fleabay for $12.99. I totally don't need them but I love the look of the vintage meters. Who knows, I might actually use them. :) One is AC Amps and the other is milliwatts.

I like old meters too.  I have one Simpson analog meter, but its practical not just looks, as it can help see ripple and can measure high voltage.

Very cool Mike  :thumb:

I've got a couple of VTVMs that I use on occasion. I've got a B&K and a Eico.

Somewhere I think I've got a copy of The Idiots Guide to VTVMs if you want an electronic copy. It has some great troubleshooting tips for thermionic circuits.

I wouldn't mind a copy of that too.

Most certainly, it's hard to have too much information. :) I'll shoot you a PM.

Love those big needles!!

I still have the two meters pictured here on the right - I think they are Weston from memory.

I remember you having those. If I remember you were playing with Rozenblit's OTL as those sure look like EL-509's. :)

An old Weston (in a wooden case) and an Eico.
They make great knick-knacks in the music room.
