I have some VERY nice white face Westinghouse panel meters that were made in
1934.  I have one voltmeter and one ammeter.  They are too big (about 5"
round) for my MOTM set up.  But, I am planning to build a nice table lamp
for my studio with these on it.  Maybe I should make the lamp voltage
controlled with some kind of TRIAC arrangement.  I often have access to
large meters 4" to 8" that are marked in high voltages and currents.  We
pretty much us only digital these days.  If someone has a particular
interest, I'll be happy to keep my eyes open.  I have some now I am not
planning to use that were from a hydroelectric dam generator control.

I'll bet Larry Hendry could hook that to his MOTM somehow.    Especially
as one of those meters reads 0 to 115 Kilovolts!
