Re: [TCML] Matching analog panel meters

["David Rieben" <drieben@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Adam, Steve, David S,

Thanks for the suggestions. However, I don't have Microsoft
Publisher and would have to get aqainted with it to just to create
a scale. I'm lazy and would rather just find a pair of ready made
meters that matched. I have found a few of the China and Hong
Kong made ones on ebay, like:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280182876700&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=018
or
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230203000215&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=013

but I was kind of hoping to find some of the name brand with the
larger print dials, like:
http://cgi.ebay.com/General-Electric-2-5-DC-AMP-PANEL-METER-1-100-VDC-NIB_W0QQitemZ300180941624QQihZ020QQcategoryZ58278QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Anyway, I may end up getting some of those off-brand Chinese
ones if I don't have any luck in my search for a more domestic
source.

Thanks,
David
