I could have swore... I saw on Larry's big Magic Bus machine lower left
corner a pair of analog meters... is that what you were measuring Larry?
Current, Amps and Voltages?? possibly...

I have 3 measuring meters in my system. The 2 analog meters monitor the +15
and -15 volt legs (30 volt scale). they are back lit with Neon and look
cool in the dark. Call it a fancy power switch. They can tell you lots in
a hurry if you have a short in your PS wiring or any module. One time (I
swear it was only once) I put my ICs in upside down. When I turned on the
PS, I have almost no voltage. They pointed out the trouble right away. The
chips were still toast, but I found my mistake quickly. I have 2 more with
15 volt scales. I plan one for the 5 volt monitor and one for a plug in
voltage monitor which can be used to monitor any AC or DC voltage in my
system.

I also have a 10 LED VU monitor in my system. It is in my Klangwerk module.

I was thinking about a 1U panel with a dual AC/DC voltage monitor.

I am thinking about a less complicated meter for my Time Machine. It has a
red clip light. But, I am thinking about adding 2 small T1 LEDs below that
(one yellow and one green) to assist in setting the level correctly into the
TM. I love my Time Machines (thanks John). But, they do really ugly stuff
(not the good kind) when you over drive them.
