Title: analog meters
Post by: jeffaroo on December 31, 2012, 04:59:47 AM
years ago you couldnt avoid these things. now its a act of congress to find a good supplier of analog meters. im looking for the regular ones and a selection of the ones that read from the edge.
mostly all i care about is dcv 0-15 or so, maybe even get fancy and take a 15-0-15
might just have to screw the pooch and go digital

I found one at a thrift store.  It's nice for measuring voltage changes but that's about it.  A scope works better if you really want to see what's going on.

Lots of analog meters here... reviews too.  You should get something ok for $10ish delivered
